Fungi lack chlorophyll, the structure that allows normal plants to undergo photosynthesis. They instead grow on rotting vegetation because they can then feed off the energy the dying plants had.
The habitat under a log is called the "subterranean habitat" or "subterranean microhabitat". Many small organisms such as insects, worms, and fungi live in this dark and moist environment, playing important roles in decomposition and soil health.
A good habitat for rotting organic matter includes forests, compost piles, and wetlands. These environments provide the essential conditions of moisture, oxygen, and microbial activity to promote the decomposition of organic materials.

Tigers do not build permanent homes or nests. They are solitary animals and roam vast territories to hunt for food. They may rest or seek shelter in caves, thick vegetation, or under trees, but they do not construct their own dwellings.
Slow worms are typically found in grasslands, woodlands, meadows, and gardens throughout Europe and parts of Asia. They prefer areas with enough cover for protection and insects for food. They are often seen basking in the sun or hiding under rocks and logs.
Plants like mosses, ferns, fungi, and small flowering plants can be commonly found under a rotting log. These plants thrive in the moist and shaded environment provided by the log and help in the decomposition process. They contribute to the forest ecosystem by recycling nutrients and providing habitat for other organisms.
Its a part of a tree that is dead and rotting away.

Rotting log? Animals? e.g. toadstools and bracket fungus Credits - Mr. Black Don't mind the word
Can a fallen log be considered an ecosystem? Explain your answer.
Caterpillars that I have observed seem to prefer live vegetation, but a rotting log may contain grubs and other larvae.
You can find bugs in rotten wood.

Asexual reproduction allows organisms on a rotting log to quickly produce offspring without the need for a mate. This can help them rapidly colonize and spread in the resource-rich environment of the log, increasing their chances of survival and outcompeting other organisms.
A rotting log ecosystem is a decaying log where a variety of organisms like insects, fungi, bacteria, and small animals break down the wood, releasing nutrients back into the soil. This process contributes to biodiversity and nutrient recycling in the forest ecosystem. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide a picture.
