Fungi absorb nutrients from their surroundings through a process called extracellular digestion. They release enzymes to break down organic matter outside of their cells, then absorb the digested nutrients into their cells. So, while fungi do not "eat" food in the traditional sense, they do acquire nutrients by breaking down and absorbing organic matter.
