The answer is: from fungus.
Mushrooms differ from plants in that they do not contain chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for photosynthesis, which allows plants to make their own food. Fungi, such as mushrooms, consume nutrients from their environment and cannot produce their own food. In addition, fungi have cell walls made of chitin, which differ from the cellulose walls of plants. As such, mushrooms have a different way of obtaining and using energy than plants.
