Why there are more fungi in a forest than in a field? What role do they play in an ecosystem?

Explanation:

Fungi grows more in damp conditions. There is also more food availibility of food in the forest for fungi. There is more dead matter in forests that fields.

Fungi and other decomposers feasst on dead matter and break them down. This increases soil fertility and allows more plants to grow.

The role fungi plays is a decomposer.

Explanation:

Decomposers are plants that don't make their own food. They get their food from breaking down dead plants and animals. Usually you see fungi in forests because its more moist and has more greens. A field is an open space and has too much sunlight, not many animals die in a field as in a forest its more common.
