Question

Why there are more fungi in a forest than in a field? What role do they play in an ecosystem?

Answer 1

The role fungi plays is a decomposer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Decomposers are plants that don't make their own food. They get their food from breaking down dead plants and animals. Usually you see fungi in forests because its more moist and has more greens. A field is an open space and has too much sunlight, not many animals die in a field as in a forest its more common.
