Detailed explanation-1: -Fungi get their nutrition by absorbing organic compounds from the environment. Fungi areheterotrophic: they rely solely on carbon obtained from other organisms for their metabolism and nutrition.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fungi are more like animals because they are heterotrophs, as opposed to autotrophs, like plants, that make their own food. Fungi have to obtain their food, nutrients and glucose, from outside sources. The cell walls in many species of fungi contain chitin.
Detailed explanation-3: -Generally, plants make their food using the sun’s energy (photosynthesis), while animals eat, then internally digest, their food. Fungi do neither: their mycelium grows into or around the food source, secretes enzymes that digest the food externally, and the mycelium then absorbs the digested nutrients.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fungi secure food through the action of enzymes (biological catalysts) secreted into the surface on which they are growing; the enzymes digest the food, which then is absorbed directly through the hyphal walls.
