Shelf fungus and Hickory trees have a symbiotic relationship known as mutualism. The fungus helps break down organic matter in the environment, releasing nutrients that the tree can absorb. In return, the tree provides sugars and other resources to the fungus. This relationship benefits both organisms and contributes to the overall health of the ecosystem.
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.
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.

False a steep shelf slows the surge. while a slopping shelf will let the water flow.
Bird nest fern (Asplenium nidus) is a tropical plant known for its rosette of broad, wavy leaves that resemble a bird's nest, while bracket fungus, also known as shelf fungus, is a type of fungus that grows in a shelf-like manner on trees or logs. Bird nest ferns are vascular plants that photosynthesize, whereas bracket fungi are decomposers that break down organic matter. Their ecological roles differ significantly, with ferns contributing to photosynthesis and bracket fungi playing a crucial role in nutrient cycling.

No, they are a type of fungi - which is a kingdom in it's own right, encompassing mould, yeast and fungi. Bacteria are prokaryotic - contain only one cell and lack nuclei. Fungi are eukaryotic (multi-celled), and much bigger.

To accurately identify birch tree fungus, look for small, shelf-like growths on the trunk or branches of the tree. These growths may be white, yellow, or brown in color. Additionally, examine the texture and shape of the fungus, as well as any spore-producing structures. It is recommended to consult a field guide or a professional arborist for a more precise identification.
