Fungi in the ecosystem is the trick right here. First fungi are decomposers. 2nd, many insect and different critters eat fungi and in all danger the main mandatory function is fungi associating with many plant roots to help them extra effectively take up nutrition. yet another exciting association is that some fungi (endophytes) stay in some grasses and cause them to toxic to herbivores.

1. Some are edible.
2. Fungi decompose dead organic matter and wastes so the nutrients can be recycled in the ecosystem.
3. Fungi form mycorrhizal associations with plants that are necessary to the environment.
4. Fungi form mutualistic associations with algae to form lichens which are essential in making soil.
