1. do bromeliads eat fungi
2. do acai palm eat fungi
3. do trees eat fungi
1. No, bromeliads do not directly eat fungi. They are photosynthetic plants and obtain nutrients and water from the air, rain, and debris that collects in their central rosette of leaves. Some bromeliads have a symbiotic relationship with certain fungi that help enhance their nutrient uptake, but they do not consume fungi as a food source.
2. Acai palms (Euterpe oleracea) generally do not eat fungi. They are also photosynthetic plants and obtain their nutrients through their root system from the soil. While the roots of acai palms may interact with fungi, forming beneficial mycorrhizal associations, they do not directly consume fungi as a food source.
3. No, trees do not eat fungi either. Similar to bromeliads and acai palms, trees are photosynthetic plants that obtain their nutrients through their roots, absorbing water and essential minerals from the soil. Trees often form mutually beneficial relationships with certain types of fungi called mycorrhizae, where the fungi help the tree in nutrient absorption while receiving sugars and nutrients from the tree. However, trees do not consume fungi as a food source.
