Observe the dilemma of the fungus: it
is a plant, but it possesses no chlorophyl. While all other plants put the sun's
energy to work for them combining the nutrients of ground and air into body
structure, the chlorophylless fungus must look elsewhere for an energy supply.
It finds it in those other plants which, having received their energy free from
the sun, relinquish it at some point in their cycle either to other animals
(like us humans) or to fungi. In this search for energy the
fungus has become the earth's major source of rot and decay. Wherever you see
mold forming on a piece of bread, or a pile of leaves turning to compost, or a
blown-down tree becoming pulp on the ground, you are watching a fungus eating.
Without fungus action the earth would be piled high with the dead plant life of
past centuries. In fact, certain plants which contain resins that are toxic to
fungi will last indefinitely. Specimens of the redwood, for instance, can still
be found resting on the forest floor centuries after having been blown
down.
