What are some examples of fungi in the rainforest?
Here are 2 examples for you Bird nest fungi The bird nest fungi is definitely one of those weird ones. It is shaped like little urns and when young has a protective lid covering it. When the fungi has mature, the lid is shed and round, hard sacs that looks like bird eggs are exposed. Each of these small white sacs contained millions of spores and when a raindrop falls into the cup, one or more of these sacs are popped out and they travel several feet from their ‘nest’. As these sacs float in the air, they leave behind a trail of sticky thread. When the tread make contact with a leaf or some other parts of a plant, it clings on and these sacs will be left suspended. The aim of this is so that when an animal walks pass and starts eating the leaves of the plant, it may accidentally consume the sac. The sac, which is unharmed through the digestive tract, will then be passed through and deposited elsewhere. Bracket fungi The bracket fungus is probably the most familiar and commonly seen fun
