Biology of mushroom creatures

+0
−0

In many fantasy settings, a race of mushroom creatures are often encountered. They may or may not look humanoid but still have the biology of fungi.

My question is how. How can a mushroom be mobile, how do the muscles and various systems work (lets do repository, circulatory and digestive systems) and how can they sense the world! They are mushrooms for crying out loud!

Please note, I have heard that given the right conditions, a mushroom my evolve to uproot itself (somehow), walk (somehow) to a new batch of rotten wood and evolve from there, but the part i'm confused is the biology of such an organism.
