Fungi don't contain any chlorophyll, so they don't undergo photosynthesis, however, mushrooms do grow toward light and use it in some way. Mycologists do not know how mushrooms use sunlight, only that they do.

No, mushrooms do not photosynthesize like plants and therefore do not get their energy directly from the sun. Instead, they derive their nutrients from decomposing organic matter in their environment.

Yes, since fungi decompose animal and plant matter, they indirectly derive energy from the sun. This is an analogous process to animals consuming plant material.
