D

Leeches and mosquitoes are the external parasites which suck our blood whereas mushrooms and lichens are not. Mushrooms are saprophytic as they obtain nutrition from dead and decaying organic matter. Lichens are a mixture of algae and fungi. The algae part make their own food and fungi obtain nutrients from the environment.
