No. Fungi absorb nutrients, though they then process them accordingly. They don't manufacture their food in the way photosynthising plants do.
Puffballs are NOT plants, they are mushrooms a type of fungal fruiting body. The puff that comes when the puffball is dried is the spores being dispersed into the air. If puffballs were left alone, they would dry and split. Through the splits, the spores would be released.
The term "mushroom" can refer to several groups in the fungi Kingdom, most commonly the phyla Basidiomycota or Agaricomycetes of the subkingdom Dikarya. The class Basidiomycetes contain the mushroom group commonly called "club fungi." The class Ascomycetes are the "sac fungi." The characteristics of these groups that are traditionally associated with mushrooms and toadstools is a fruiting body with a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus), and gills or pores. Similar organisms called mushrooms that don't look like traditional mushrooms and toadstools have names, like puffball, stinkhorn, and morel.
Some plants produce puffball seed heads. The dandelion is the most familiar example, which have round, whitish-gray seed heads. Individual seeds are dispersed by the wind and are borne by tiny parachutes, called pappi (sigular: pappus).

They can range in size from small to quite large and are commonly found growing directly on the ground or on decaying wood.
