I don't believe so... May I ask why you would ask such a disturbing question??
Yes, fungi can form symbiotic associations with animals and bacteria. For example, lichens are a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae or cyanobacteria. Additionally, some insects have mutualistic relationships with fungi, where the insects benefit from the nutrients provided by the fungi.
Mutualistic fungi form mutually beneficial relationships with other organisms, providing nutrients or other benefits in exchange for resources. While some fungi are decomposers, not all mutualistic fungi perform this role. Mutualistic fungi can be involved in functions such as plant nutrient uptake, protecting plants against pathogens, or helping insects digest their food.
they're just friends with benifits lol.
how do mutualistic fungi get energy
Fungi engage in symbiosis with plants, plant roots, and insects, to name a few.
The associations formed by fungi in mycorrhizae and lichens are similar to the one formed by oxpeckers and zebras. This is a mutualistic relationship where both parties benefit from the association.
plant and fungi
Using celular digestion. The bacteria or fungi releases enzymes which digests the large food particles till they a small enough to absorb the nutrients. The way they absorb nutrients is call diversion.
Forming mutualistic relationships allows fungi and algae to access resources they cannot obtain on their own, such as nutrients or protection. This symbiotic partnership enhances the overall fitness and survival of both organisms and enables them to thrive in challenging environments. Additionally, the exchange of resources between the organisms can lead to increased productivity and growth for both partners.
The symbiotic relationship between fungi and blue-green algae is called lichen. In this relationship, the fungi provide a protective shelter for the algae, while the algae produce food through photosynthesis that benefits both organisms. This mutualistic partnership allows lichens to thrive in a variety of environments.
Mutualistic. That answer can be correct but it really depends on what you are talking about. For example some kinds of ants some of the time have a mutualistic relationship with scale insects that feed on plants in the family Proteaceae and may kill them. Some other kinds of ants do nothing for the plant, but do eat its nectar, which is a parasitic relationship. Such ants do not have a mutualistic relationship with the plant. Also, the relationship between the ants and the Proteaceae may be mutualistic in more ways than one. A common mutualistic relationship is one we call myrmecochory, in which the ants carry the seeds and thereby help the new plants to grow. What the ants get out of it is food. The plants grow nutritious tissues on the surface of the seeds, commonly at one end of the seed. We call such a lump of ant-feeding tissue an elaiosome.When the ants have eaten the elaiosome they either ignore the seed, or dispose of it on their garbage dumps. This usually is not where birds and other seed eating creatures will find the seeds, and it also might be a place that is very suitable for the seed to grow. For example the garbage might be good fertiliser, or it might poison fungi that might have rotted the seeds, or scare off other insects that might otherwise have eaten the seeds.
They eat young birds, birds' eggs, insects, berries, nuts, and carrion
