Because of the decomposing material surrounding them. It's not light. Fungi aren't plants. They do NOT carry out photosynthesis. In fact, they're in a different KINGDOM for a reason. ^^ Trees die, fungi feed on it, they thrive. Simple cycle. They're decomposers...How do fungi survive in the forest?
They either live off of the detritus - dead organic matter, or they can live off of the plants as a parasite. They are pretty resourceful.
