Decomposition Of Leaves and
Stems Of Herbaceous Plants
3. Cellulolytic fungi
- decompose by utilizing cellulose and
hemicellulose
- Eg. Chaeotomium, Fusarium,
Stachybotrys,
and Trichoderma
4. Lignin- degrading fungi
- slow growing members of
Basidiomycotina
such as Mycena galopus
5. Associated fungi
- occur together with cellulolytic fungi and
lignin-degrading fungi
- members of oomycetes or zygomycoyina
( several deuteromycotina also found )
- some may parasitize the hyphae of the
other fungi
- secondary sugar saprophytism: grow in
close association of other fungi, sharing
proportion of the enzymic breakdown
products.
Succession of
Fungi On Dung
Zygomycotina Ascomycotina
Basidiomycotina
Many of them may be presented when dung
is deposited, do not differ in rates of spore
germination and mycelial growth.
- succession of fruitbodies and not
necessarily
of vegetative growth.
Argument because: Basidiomycotina
requires
considerable nutrient reserves to develop
fruiting bodies ( longer period of vegetative
growth)
