Fungi is a producer. Like many plants, mushrooms and algae they generate nutrients from the suns rays via photosynthesis. Consumers feed off them, and the food chain continues. Fungi and all producers are very important to the food chain as they are what helps keeps herbivores alive.


I hope this helps.
