Description
There are so many organisms that cannot live without the other! These shelf fungi, moss and lichen have such a relationship. I am not a scientist, but in looking online, I can surmise that the root vegetation, ie the moss, produces minerals needed for the fungi to grow, and the fungi increases the surface area, giving the root plants oxygen and water that it needs to grow.The root plants also give the shelf fungi carbohydrates via photosynthesis. Life and nature are truly amazing. I cannot wait to keep track of these life forms. I am so lucky that they are just in my back yard!
