Fungi: Members of a eukaryotic kingdom that have chitin in their cell walls and do not photosynthesize.
Ectomycorrhizal Fungi: Fungi that form a symbiotic relationship with the roots of certain trees.
Symbiosis: A close and long-term relationship between two unlike organisms.
Saprotrophic Fungi: Fungi that decompose the remains of other biological entities.
Gadgil Effect: The phenomenon that occurs when saprotrophic and mycorrhizal fungi compete in forest soils.
Volatile Organic Compounds: Organic compounds that easily evaporate at room temperature.
