| Parasitic         | Absorbs nutrients from living cell of host organism. <br>Example is Cordyceps invading insect bodies.                                                           |
| Predatory         | Have specialized structures for trapping prey.                                                                                                                  |
| Mutualistic       | Have partnerships with other organisms, usually plants or protists.<br>Mycorrhiza: Mutual relationship with plants.<br>Lichen: Mutual with algae/cyanobacteria. |
| Saprobial         | Feed on dead organisms or decaying waste.                                                                                                                       |
