CONT

Les termites de la sous-famille des Macrotermidés ont la curieuse habitude de confectionner dans leur nid des «meules à champignons» dont la taille varie de celle d'une noisette à celle d'une tête humaine [...] Les meules constituent un milieu favorable au développement des champignons dont le mycélium prospère à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur des meules et y forme un feutrage.
