There is a juice in your stomach called

acid that helps break down food. Fungi

use a similar juice to break down its

food. Here is a fungus eating fruit. This

fungus is called mold. Mold doesn’t

grow mushrooms.

Fungi, though, do not have stomachs.

Fungi take the broken-down food right

into their bodies. This fungus is eating

dead leaves.
