Question

Maria is studying fungi in a forest. She makes some observations and takes some notes on a variety of fungi found on the forest floor. If Maria returned to the forest a year later and discovered that all the fungi were gone, what would she most likely observe as a result of this?

Answer 1

Without fungi in the forest, dead and rotting materials would not be broken down. Fungi breaks down materials, and if fungi was not in the forest, the forest would have dead and rotting, plants and animals piled up everywhere.
