Mushrooms are a type of fungi instead of a basic plant. Fungi do not have chlorophyll like plants do. Therefore, they do not need sunlight to produce anything. Most mushrooms live off of the organism or area they grow on.

Why do mushrooms not need light to grow?
Many mushrooms need light to grow, and this includes nearly all edible types that are grown for sale in stores. It happens that the type that is most often sold, button mushrooms, is usually grown in the dark, and this variety includes Crimimi and Portobello mushrooms. Interestingly enough, however, mushrooms exposed to sunlight produce vitamin D, and this is especially true of button mushrooms. A person can get all the vitamin D needed each day by exposing a small button mushroom to sunlight for an hour or so and eating it.
