very bizzare, and since its mobile does it still scavenge? or does it hunt

The crab mushroom scavenges. Despite having legs it wouldn't be able to move fast enough to hunt down pray.

Yes, although it can thrive farther from water than the frog as long as favorable conditions are present (humidity/moisture, decaying material on which to scavenge).
