The Appearance of Fungi on ORCHIATA

Micro-organisms are an important part of Orchiata and fungi species are regularly isolated from these products. These fungi are generally saprophytic fungi which live off of decaying organic matter, and as Orchiata is created using a natural aging process caused by microbial degradation these organisms will always occur in this growing media. The majority of the time, fungi are not really visible. However when conditions are right for one or more species to grow, mycelia becomes more visible. It does not tend to cause plant disease but instead helps to protect plant roots and stems from pathogen attack.
