Instead, they’ve evolved other ways to feed. Some fungi are parasites that live on living trees or plants, playing an important role in woodlands. Most fungi, however, either break down dead plant and animal matter (decomposers) or live in partnership with plants (symbiosis). Decomposer fungi recycle nutrients by rotting wood and other material. Symbiotic fungi form a link with plants or trees, helping them absorb extra minerals from the soil. In return, the plant supplies the fungus with some of its sugars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that this is not a guide to the identification of edible fungi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced in association with the British Mycological Society, this key is designed to be used by teachers and students to help recognise some of the fungi found in fields and woodland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e(OP80)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Field Studies Council","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59211747492174,"sku":"9781851538911","price":3.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/6775\/7390\/files\/9781851538911.jpg?v=1773925775","url":"https:\/\/intothewest.co.uk\/products\/the-fungi-name-trail-occasional-publication-80","provider":"Into the West Book Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
