(This is for saprophyte fungi)
1. They secrete enzymes into their food (dead plant or animal matter) through the hyphae
2. The enzymes break down the food into soluable pieces
3. They ingest the food (again, through the hyphae)
This simple process gives them all the nutrients they need for energy and health.

∙ 14y agoFUNGI absorb their food. They send parts of their body(hyphae) directly into their food, secret chemicals which helps to break the food down into simpler molecules, and then absorb the food directly into their cells. If you were a fungus and you wanted to "eat" a chocolate cake, you would stick your fingers into the cake, drip digestive chemicals off your fingers, and absorb the cake directly through your skin into your body! Gross right?
