Fungus what is it?

Post by Daubz1977 » Tue Feb 23, 2016 2:03 pm

Id like to know about all the different areas of the fungus, Is it just the white part of the fungus which is eaten? is the inside of the fungus garden a solid lump or is it filled with lots of tunnels? Is there also other insects that will live in or around the fungus?
Thanks
ants i keep:-
Atta cephalotes
Polyrhachis dives
Camponotus cruentatus
Camponotus ligniperdus
Camponotus barbaricus
Formica cunicularia
Messor barbarus
Lasius niger
