Yes, fungi obtain food by breaking down organic matter through the secretion of enzymes. They then absorb the nutrients released from the decaying matter to support their growth and reproduction. This process is known as extracellular digestion.
"Wasabi Mushroom Fungus" can refer to a type of mushroom fungus that produces a flavor reminiscent of wasabi when consumed. This fungus is sometimes used in culinary applications to add a spicy kick similar to that of wasabi root.
Fungi are living organisms that can belong to their own kingdom separate from plants, animals, and bacteria. They obtain nutrients by breaking down organic matter in their environment, making them important decomposers in ecosystems.
Lichen is not a mold; it is a symbiotic combination of fungus and algae or cyanobacteria. It forms a unique organism where the fungus provides structure and protection, while the algae or cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis to produce food.
Fungus-like protists have filamentous structures that resemble fungal hyphae. Both groups obtain nutrients through absorption rather than photosynthesis. They can reproduce through the formation of spores.
Candida albicans, a yeast that can cause infections in humans. Puccinia graminis, a fungus that causes stem rust in cereal crops. Penicillium notatum, a mold that can spoil food and produce allergens. Geotrichum candidum, a yeast-like fungus that can cause infections in immunocompromised individuals.

Fungus-like protists obtain their food from dead matter. Protists are eukaryotic microorganisms.
This describes a fungus. Fungi are multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes that obtain nutrients by absorbing them from their surroundings.
Although fungi are heterotrophs, they do not take food into their bodies as you do. Instead, fungi absorb food through hyphae that grow into the food source.
A sporangium fungus obtains food through decomposition. It secretes enzymes onto organic matter, breaking it down into simpler nutrients that the fungus can then absorb. This process allows the sporangium fungus to obtain the necessary nutrients for growth and reproduction.

A fungus differs from green plants in that it does not make its own food through photosynthesis. Instead, fungi are heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrients by absorbing dissolved organic matter from their environment.
The type of fungus that grows horizontal to food source are said to be heterotrophic. Such fungus do not process their own food.
A mushroom isn't in any food group, but if it had a food group it would be fungus.
