No; woodlice are almost exclusively herbivorous, and not cannibalistic.However, woodlice are decomposers and do eat decaying or rotting matter such as rotting leaves and even other dead woodlice. I have a woodlice culture and I have observed woodlice eat other dead woodlice.
Maggots are decomposers and help to recycle nutrients.
The outstanding characteristics of the kingdom Fungi are their ability to absorb nutrients from their surroundings, their cell walls made of chitin, and their reproductive structures called spores. Fungi play crucial roles in decomposition and nutrient recycling, and they have a wide range of forms, including mushrooms, yeasts, and molds. They can be found in diverse habitats, from soil to water to the human body.
The anti-biotic drug penicillin is produced by a fungus of the same name. It's the basis for a multi-million dollar industry - besides being a reason for a whole lot of people to be grateful.

Yes, there are decomposers in the plains of the US. Decomposers play a crucial role in breaking down dead organic matter and recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. They include bacteria, fungi, worms, and other organisms that help decompose plant and animal remains.
Living things incorporate nutrients into their bodies. For example, plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil, then, using energy from the sun, synthesize carbon and hydrogen into carbohydrates. When you eat food, you break that food down into its basic units, then reassemble those to build things like muscle. Living things tie up nutrients, and without decomposers those nutrients would stay tied up. Decomposers like bacteria, earthworms, and fungi release those nutrients from the dead bodies of plants and animals or from animal feces.Fungi produce chemicals which break down dead matter into nutrients. By freeing nutrients from dead matter and waste, fungi make those nutrients available for growing plants to use. Fungi are an essential part of (cue music) the circle of life.
Many fungi play a crucial role in decomposition (breaking things down) and returning nutrients to the soil. They are also used in medicine, an example is theanribiotic penicillin, as well as in industry and food preparation.
Fungi is a decomposer.
Fungi play a crucial role in ecosystems as decomposers. They break down dead organic material, such as fallen trees and animal remains, and recycle nutrients back into the soil. This helps to maintain nutrient cycling and supports the growth of plants. Fungi also form symbiotic relationships with plants, such as mycorrhizae, where they assist in nutrient uptake by the plant roots. Without fungi, ecosystems would struggle to recycle nutrients efficiently.
Decomposers are an essential component of any ecosystem. Their main role is to recycle nutrients in dead organisms and their wastes. Most decomposers are bacteria and fungi. Without the decomposers, there could be no life, since plants would then run out of nutrients.
