Fungi contribute to the ecosystem because they serve as decomposers and symbionts. Fungi keep nutrients for plants in the ecosystem instead of being locked in organic matter. Decomposers free elements essential to life like carbon and nitrogen. Plants and animals would be severely inhibited and starve because these element would not be recycled back to the environment.
