Fungi are heterotrophic organisms that obtain their nutrients by absorbing them from their environment. They secrete enzymes that break down complex organic compounds into simpler compounds which are then taken up by the hyphae of the fungus. They do not take in food by phagocytosis or generate ATP and reducing equivalents by photosynthesis.
