What is absorptive nutrition?How does this allow humans to exploit fungi to produce different products ?

Q. What is meant by absorptive nutrition? How does this characteristic of the fungal lifestyle allow humans to exploit fungi to produce different products(such as food or antibiotics).
Thank you !

A. Absorptive Nutrition- describes a way of obtaining energy and nutrients in which digestive enzymes are secreted into a substrate, then smaller, easily assimilated molecules are absorbed through the cell membrane. As decomposers, Fungi use it.

Ways that we use fungi to produce products include -

Cheese (cheeses age using fungi)
Bread (Yeast is used to allow leavened bread to "rise")

Penicillin is derived from the fungus Penicillium.

Hope that helps!
