What is operculum in fungi?

Answer 1

Fungus:

1. Fungus is primarily decomposers, meaning organisms get essential energies from disintegrating or dead organic materials.
2. Irresolvable polysaccharides, such as lignin and cellulose in dead wood, could be broken down by fungal extracellular enzymes into readily easily absorbed glucose molecules.

Operculum:

1. Some plant species, mosses, and fungi have a cap-like structure known as the operculum.
