Heterotrophs are organisms who cannot produce their own organic food.

Mushrooms are heterotrophs too, specifically they are termed as saprotrophs or saprophytes, that is they obtain their organic nutrient from dead decaying organisms.

Definitely a heterotroph. They cannot make their own food by photosynthesis, so they cannot be autotrophs.
