chlorophylless must look elsewhere for energy supply. It finds it in those other plants which, having
received their energy free from the sun, relinquish it at some point in their cycle either to animals (like us
humans) or to the fungi.
In this search for energy the fungus has become the earth's major source of rot and decay. Whereever you

centuries after having been blown down
