Some are able to do so, yes.
it can only feed at dead living things such as dead animals and plants
Yes, fungi that decompose dead organisms can cause serious damage to plants. Some fungi are opportunistic and can switch from decomposing dead organisms to parasitizing living plants, leading to diseases that can harm or even kill the plants. It is important to manage fungal populations in the soil to prevent potential damage to plants.
Dead plants can decompose and be broken down by fungi, bacteria, and other organisms. These organisms help break down the dead plant material into simpler nutrients that can then be reused by other living plants.
decomposer
Some fungi are saprophytic and feed on dead animals, breaking down their tissues for nutrients. However, there are also parasitic fungi that can infect live animals, drawing nutrients from their host's tissues.

Fungi get their energy from living or dead organisms. They will usually specialize in living or dead and it is rare that they can do both.
Fungi can act as both decomposers, breaking down organic matter, and as consumers, feeding on living or dead organisms to obtain nutrients.
Imperfect fungi are located every where, on land ,in water,in air, in and on bodies of living and dead organisms
yes dead organisms is a nutrient source for fungi!!! ofcourse it is, .... or is it! O_o
The organisms are called decomposers. These are the most numerous organisms in an ecosystem and include bacteria and fungi.

Certain bacteria and Fungi suit this profile
