surrounding environment in subtle or signi?cant ways.
[0003] A second characteristic of many species of primary
saprophyte fungi, which are de?ned as those fungi that
directly break down cellulose materials, or in other words
fungi that grow primarily on trees, is their ability to utilize
starch, cellulose, hemicellulose and lignan as the raw mate
