Yes. Since Fungi are the ones that decompose things where it is to acidic for bacteria to survive, the fungi absorb the material around them. They secrete enzymes that cause decay and use the decomposed material as food.
An example of an organism that absorbs food from the surface it lives on is a parasitic flatworm. These flatworms, also known as tapeworms, attach themselves to the intestinal lining of their host and absorb nutrients directly through their skin.
If there was more heat to absorb than was already in the material.
No, poop is not fungus. Poop is the waste material produced by the digestive system of animals. Fungus is a separate kingdom of organisms that includes molds and mushrooms.
The roots of a fungus are called mycelium. Mycelium is a network of thread-like hyphae that grow underground or within the substrate on which the fungus is feeding. The mycelium's main function is to absorb nutrients and water from its environment to support the fungus's growth and reproduction.
Fungi use their hyphae to absorb nutrients from their environment. The hyphae grow into the substrate, releasing enzymes that break down organic matter into simpler compounds which are then absorbed by the fungus. It also helps in anchoring the fungus in place.

The official definition for the word saprophyte is "a plant, fungus, or microorganism that lives on dead or decaying organic matter."
Leafcutter ants tending fungus "garden" - the fungus grows on the leaf material.
There are many of them. They include gilled fungus, devil's tongues, coral fungus, agaric fungus, toothed fungus, slime mould, luminous fungus, bracket fungus, cup fungus, moss, organ pipe fungus, sac fungus, stinkhorn fungus, jelly fungus, and lichen. The forest floor is the leaf-littered ground. It is the home of many, many insects and some large animals. ~short :)

Fungus!

Fungus has the role of decomposer in a food chain it decomposes the dead organic material and feeds on it.
