The symbiosis between Shelf Fungi and Hickory trees is Parasitism.
The type of symbiosis is commensalism. The shelf fungus obtains a place to live, water that is absorbed by the Hickory tree bark, and nutrients from the decaying surface bark. The Hickory tree is neither harmed nor helped from the relationship. However, scientists do admit that in relationships that appear to be commensalism, there may really be a benefit to the plant that is being used. We just don't know enough about the plant and/or the various relationships to be able to determine that it is really mutualism, where both plants benefit.
fungus on a tree is called shelf fungus from the phylum basidiomycota and the kingdom fungi comenly found on dead trees or live ones and are parisitic
continental shelf. My question was : Decaying organic matter and sediment are found in the ocean's... But the answer you provided me wasn't right. The right answer was : Abyssal Plains.
You may be thinking of the Ross Ice Shelf, which is about the size of France, or the Ronnie Larson Ice Shelf, which is decaying from underneath, because of warmer ocean waters around the Antarctic Peninsula.
An example of a decomposer in Georgia would be a mushroom. This is because it breaks down dead organisms.
It could be a shelf fungus, indicating rotten wood behind the tile. Here is a link to a google image search. http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&um=1&q=shelf+fungus+&btnG=Search+Images
False a steep shelf slows the surge. while a slopping shelf will let the water flow.
