If you look closely, then in the dense shadows of the forests you can find rather strange plants of pink hues. AMAZING, but in their coloring there is not even a hint of the usual green color. Scientists discovered this phenomenon and he found the species Monotropastrum kirishimense to be special. It turns out that OLSULVE uses a completely different way of eating poisoning, completely about
Monotropastrum kirishimense was first found in Taiwan. The researchers found that he uses mushrooms for his nutrition. In general, symbiotic communities of “plants and fungi” are not uncommon. Fungal and plant root bonds can be thought of as effective income messages. These systems are also used to protect against predators and allow both sites to survive in the event of a shortage. Plants receive from food of mushrooms, from receipt of necessary carbohydrates.
However, Monotropastrum lives in a completely different way. The fact is that these “cunning” plants, getting everything they need from mushrooms, give nothing in return. At the same time, depending on the environment, they use certain types of mushrooms. The researchers are confident that they have encountered a new plant species. However, it is on the verge of formation along with the relict forests within which it grows.
