This organism has become well adept to its environment in a verity of ways.  One primary feature of this mushroom is the chemical Psilocybin.  This chemical is a hallucinogenic Alkaloid that is a defense mechanism that deters predators.  Another important adaptation is the ability to secrete exoenzymes to decompose hard organic matter for diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane.  Along side with the exoenzymes fungi increase there surface area to absorb more nutrients. 

      Blasidiomycota get there food through hyphae.  These hyphae produce exoenzymes to break down the organic matter then uses diffusion to absorb the nutrients.  The hyphae from an intricate web called a mycelium to increase the surface area and increase food consumption.  The storage of excess food is in the form of glycogen.
