UK ants farming fungi
A long while ago we had a discussion where I reckoned I had ants in my
garden that farmed a fungus. Well yesterday I put a spade through what looks to me like a perfect example of their action. Small 5cm x 5cm x 1cm chambers with a white mushroomy smelling fungus uniformly coating the walls. Unfortunately the ants are long gone now wherever they go. However, I now know exactly where to dig next year and hope to catch them in the act. Unfortunately I was digging quite vigorously and didn't spot it in time to avoid messing it up, but pieces of the white fungal carpet were obvious as I smashed up the soil. I will go back and try to catch them in the act next year. -- Regards, Martin Brown |
