Answer 1

Yes they are, and it has nothing to do with the presence of bacteria.  Fungus is it's own kingdom in biology.

Answer 2

Mushrooms (fungi) are living organisms.

The Kingdom Fungi is comprised of non-motile cells that have cell walls made of chitin (the same hard stuff that the outer bodies of insects are made of) and not cellulose. Therefore, some argue that fungi are more closely related to animals than plants. Fungi develop from spores without any embryonic stage. They digest other living things outside their bodies by releasing enzymes and then absorbing the product.

Answer 3

when there in the ground yes there a type of bacteria that eats dead corps and life forms!!
