habitat soil or dead matterIn most of these fungi the teeth or spines are about 3 mm.
long, but in the scaly tooth fungus they can reach 12 mm. in length
participate in decomposition of organic matter and deliver nutrients for plant growth
The scientists discovered that all fungi release water to keep cool just As water molecules evaporate, or change from a liquid to a gas, they carry heat away from the fungi’s surface
fungi are neither plants nor animals
In most of these fungi the teeth or spines are about 3 mm. long, but in the scaly tooth fungus they can reach 12 mm. in length
