The fungi then flourish in the faeces, before releasing their spores to the surrounding area.
It is a saprophytic fungus that primarily resides on plants, soil, straw, and dung. Endophytic C. globosum assists in cellulose decomposition of plant cells. [1] They are found in habitats ranging from forest plants to mountain soils across various biomes. [2] [3] [4] C. globosum colonies can also be found indoors and on wooden products. [5] [6]
In humans, S. saprophyticus is found in the normal flora of the female genital tract [3] and perineum. [4] It has been isolated from other sources, too, including meat and cheese products, vegetables, the environment, and human and animal gastrointestinal tracts. [4]
