Some fungi may lack cell walls. However, some do. In the those which have cell walls, the cell membrane is generally followed by chitin (N-acteyl-D-glucosamine polymer), beta-1,3-glucan, and a layer of mannoproteins.

Fungi decompose animal/plant remants by injecting an enzyne filled liguid with their hyphae.

Hypae are strings of cells that make up the fungus. They grow into the ground and feel around for food. Once found, they inject fluid with hyphae, and the hyphae then collects the decomposed material and sends it throughout the fungus.

So, no, fungi do not "engulf" food but they use their hyphae to decompose animal/plant remains to obtain energy.
