Fungi are often referred to as the scavengers of the earth because they play a crucial role in decomposition, breaking down organic matter such as dead plants, animals, and waste products. This process recycles nutrients back into the ecosystem, making them available for other organisms. By facilitating nutrient cycling, fungi help maintain soil health and support biodiversity, making them essential for ecosystem functioning. Their ability to decompose complex substances, including lignin and cellulose, further underscores their role as nature's recyclers.
