In general fungal cell walls are resistant to whatever enzymes or compounds they are excreting to break material down for consumption. Conceptually, it is a little like your stomach lining being resistant to stomach acid. For a more detailed answer you may have to head over to your local university and find a Mycologist.
There is ongoing research on how fungi actually "eat." You can look up fungal endocytosis if you wish to research it more. There may be other mechanisms as Shigeta mentions.
