Ants that grow mushrooms There is a species of ants that grow mushrooms for food in their nests. This species, which is confined to Central and South America, is the leaf- cutter ant, or parasol ant. Leaf cutters chew leaf sections they have carried back from the trees on the earth into a pulp (sponge-like masses), which they store in a special chamber far under the earthユs surface. In the chamber, the pulp is used as a substrate on which their fungus and mushrooms can grow, and it is the mushrooms that are eaten. Ants of this species can be called farmer ants. However, this species is a great pest to fruit growers, because the leaves of many trees are cut, which can ruin a whole plantation in a short time if the parasol ants are left unchecked.
