A coprophilous fungus (dung-loving fungus) [1] is a type of saprobic fungus that grows on animal dung. The hardy spores of coprophilous species are unwittingly consumed by herbivores from vegetation, and are excreted along with the plant matter. The fungi then flourish in the faeces, before releasing their spores to the surrounding area.
Saprotrophic microscopic fungi are sometimes called saprobes. [4] Saprotrophic plants or bacterial flora are called saprophytes (sapro-'rotten material' + -phyte 'plant'), although it is now believed [citation needed] that all plants previously thought to be saprotrophic are in fact parasites of microscopic fungi or of other plants.
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]
Rhizopus is a genus of common saprophytic fungi on plants and specialized parasites on animals. They are found in a wide variety of organic substances, including "mature fruits and vegetables", [2] jellies, syrups, leather, bread, peanuts, and tobacco.
Phialophora fastigiata is a mitosporic, [1] saprophytic fungus commonly found in soil, [2] and on wood, [3] and wood-pulp. [4] This species was initially placed in the genus Cadophora but was later transferred to the genus Phialophora based on morphological and growth characteristics. [5] In culture, P. fastigiata produces olive-brown, velvety ...
Crepidotus cesatii, commonly known as the roundspored oysterling, is a species of saprophytic fungus in the family Crepidotaceae with a stipeless sessile cap.It is often found on woody and herbaceous plant debris from many different hosts including conifers, appearing from late summer to winter usually in small scattered groups.
Crepidotus carpaticus, is a species of saprophytic fungus in the family Crepidotaceae with a stipeless sessile cap. The fungus was described by Albert Pilát in 1929 and is commonly found in France, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. [4] The GBIF database indicates this species may be an orthographic variant.
Aspergillus parasiticus is a fungus belonging to the genus Aspergillus. [1] This species is an unspecialized saprophytic mold, mostly found outdoors in areas of rich soil with decaying plant material as well as in dry grain storage facilities. [2]
