Simpler forms that they can absorb. By releasing enzymes to do this.
Fungi give off enzymes that break down complex foods.

Fungi give off carbon dioxide as a byproduct of cellular respiration after they digest the food they absorb. This process helps break down complex molecules into simpler forms that the fungi can use for energy.
Fungi that transform complex organic substances into raw materials are called decomposers or saprotrophs. These fungi play a crucial role in breaking down dead plant and animal matter and returning nutrients back to the environment for other organisms to use.
Bracket fungi absorb nutrients from decaying organic matter, such as dead wood. The fungi secrete enzymes that break down complex molecules into simpler forms that can be absorbed by the fungus. This process allows the bracket fungi to obtain the nutrients they need for growth and reproduction.
Fungi have the role of decomposers in the food chain.
Food spoilage is a chemical change because it is caused both by oxidation of fats and the chemical changes involved when fungi and bacteria use enzymes to use the food for its own development.
Actually fungi cannot produce food while plants can. Fungi can only absorb food from dead organic matter.
An organism requiring complex organic compounds for food is known as a heterotroph. Heterotrophs cannot produce their own food and must consume other organisms or organic matter for energy and nutrients. This includes animals, fungi, and some types of bacteria.
Fungi actually don't make their food, they're heterotrophic, or decomposer, even though they have cell walls. You find fungi near their food source.
They get their food from animals and plants
Fungi receives food through filter feeding. It can also just eat bacteria.
