0 a type of plant without leaves and without green colouring that gets its food from other living or decaying things -- mantar
Results have varied with the termite species and strain of fungus tested, and the concentration of inoculum and its mode of delivery to termite populations.
In both species, seeds lacking testae began to soften about day 8, were often attacked by fungus, and had rotted completely by day 10.
Bacteria were also found at some points of interaction between fungus and larval cuticle.
This fungus produces threedimensional adhesive nets, like the other fungi under study.
A large plant (size: 26 cm) was defoliated by an unidentified fungus in the early 1993 rainy season.
Pellets were prepared with the fungus mycelia in liquid culture medium and contained approximately 20% fungus.
However, this study found no relationship between soil clay content and incidence of the common fungus-growing species, analysed as a group or individually.
In the studies cited above, good results were obtained when animals had daily access to the fungus.
