What would fungi indicate about the type(s) of plants growing in the area?
What will be an ideal response?
Some forest trees only grow in association with special fungi called mycorrhizae.
The truffles associated with roots of some trees in France are an example of
mycorrhizal fungi. Many trees in the western United States and Canada have
mycorrhizal associations. Large amounts of fungi in the soil would tend to suggest a
large amount of organic matter that is in the process of decomposing in the topsoil
and/or a mycorrhizal association with one of the plant species growing in the area.
