Saprotrophic nutrition / s æ p r ə ˈ t r ɒ f ɪ k,-p r oʊ-/ [1] or lysotrophic nutrition [2] [3] is a process of chemoheterotrophic extracellular digestion involved in the processing of decayed (dead or waste) organic matter.
People who collect mushrooms for consumption are known as mycophagists, [37] and the act of collecting them for such is known as mushroom hunting, or simply "mushrooming". Even edible mushrooms may produce allergic reactions in susceptible individuals, from a mild asthmatic response to severe anaphylactic shock.
Though not enough is known about the species to consider it edible, scientist assume that it is a food source for small insects in the river. [2] Though the river has low levels of nitrogen , nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria near mushroom discovery sites suggests they might provide a source of nitrogen.
Extracellular phototropic digestion is a process in which saprobionts feed by secreting enzymes through the cell membrane onto the food. The enzymes catalyze the digestion of the food, i.e., diffusion, transport, osmotrophy or phagocytosis.

Mycology is the branch of biology concerned with the study of fungi, including their taxonomy, genetics, biochemical properties, and use by humans. [1] Fungi can be a source of tinder, food, traditional medicine, as well as entheogens, poison, and infection.
Mushrooms are definitely having a moment. Reports indicate that sales have been increasing steadily to the point that the global mushroom market was valued at more than $50 billion in 2022 - the ...
After allowing the enzymes time to digest the material, the decomposer then absorbs the nutrients from the environment into its cells. [4] Decomposition is often erroneously conflated with this process of external digestion, probably because of the strong association between fungi, which are external digesters, and decomposition.
