Biotic Factors

Decomposers:

Amanita caesarea or "Caesar's Mushrooms" are found under oaks in mixed woodland.

Mangrove Polypore are ear-shaped mushrooms that have brown, hairlike, outward-leaning scales found in Mexico.

Pycnoporus sanguineus or "The Red Fungus" are found in the tropics and inedible and probably toxic.

Phellinus fungi are wood decayers that have occasionally infected live trees.

Coprinopsis lagopus is common in North America and grows on decomposing wood or decaying woody debris.
