Incorrect. Let me give you an explanation why.
Mycology is a branch of botany which is dedicated to the study of fungi, such as molds and mushrooms. However, some studies suggest that fungi are more closely related to animals than plants, since they do not make their own food, but grow directly on food sources, such as rotten fruit or dead animals, or even live plants that they can benifit off of parasitically.
But think of this: can two species of mold find each other as food sources and grow on each other? I mean, REALLY think about it. One mold grows on a slice of white bread and sucks the nutrients out of it. And then a second mold comes along and finds that it can benifit parasitically off the other mold that is benifiting off the bread? Rationally, it simply does not make sense.
(Sorry for stealing your thunder, LaisyDaisy! You got me interested in Mycology.)

Why do fungi deprend on living things?
Fungi are consumers officially, though they do not eat other living things like Animals they do 'consume' them but in an odd way. Fungi receive energy(which all organisms require) by growing onto a living thing and sucking out the nutrients. An example of this is when you see a mushroom growing on the side of a tree. The mushroom is stealing the nutrients from the tree to survive.

Spores are PART OF living thing. Spores are just like seeds. If you put a seed in a plastic bag and did not give it air , food and water , the seed will not die. But , if you plant it , it will grow. We cannot say that it is a non living thing or a living thing so we have to state it as part of living things.
