The shrub layer is composed mostly of woody, perennial shrubs less than ten feet in height and younger, smaller trees awaiting a gap in the canopy to grow to full stature.
Approximately 20% of the biomass in the forest community is tied up in the shrub layer.
The shrub layer of the rainforest is 5 to 20 feet from the ground and is very dark. Since hardly any sun reaches the forest floor things begin to decay quickly. A leaf that might take one year to decompose in a regular climate will disappear in 6 weeks
Fungus and mosses are typically found on the forest floor layer of the rainforest. This layer receives minimal sunlight, has high humidity, and provides a suitable environment for fungus and mosses to thrive.
Canopy layer: made up of the highest tree branches and leaves that form a dense canopy overhead, receiving the most sunlight. Understory layer: consists of smaller trees, shrubs, and plants growing beneath the canopy, receiving filtered sunlight. Forest floor layer: the lowest layer where plants, fungi, and decomposing organic matter are found. It receives very little sunlight due to the dense canopy above.
The four levels of a rainforest are the emergent layer (top layer with tallest trees), canopy layer (dense layer of leaves and branches), understory layer (smaller trees and shrubs), and forest floor (ground level with decomposing plant matter). Each level has its own unique ecosystem and supports different species of plants and animals.

Animals that live in the shrub layer include small mammals like rabbits, squirrels, and chipmunks, as well as birds such as sparrows, finches, and thrushes. Additionally, insects like butterflies, beetles, and spiders can also be found in the shrub layer.

This layer is literally just called 'Young Trees' , it's between the 'Canopy Layer' and the 'Shrub Layer'
The main layers of the rainforest (from top to bottom) are th Emergent Layer, the Canopy Layer, the Under Store, the Shrub Layer, and the Forest Floor.You are welcome!
