Fungi feed using enzymes and absorption. The hyphae of fungi, are able to screte digestive enzymes out into the soil or other surrounds in which they grow. The ezymes then digest and breakdown the "food". The digested mass is then reabsorbed by the hyphae and used by the fungi.

This is also known as extracellular digestion.

What process does not occur in an absorptive state?

Gluconeogenesis, which is the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources, does not occur in the absorptive state. This is because during the absorptive state, blood glucose levels are elevated due to the recently ingested nutrients, and there is no need to generate glucose from other sources.
