The relationship between the fungus and the ants is mutualistic. Both organisms benefit from their association with each other. The ants provide optimum conditions for the fungus to grow and thrive, while also supplying it with leaf fragments as a source of nutrition. In return, the fungus provides the ants with a food source as they feed on the cultivated pieces of fungus.
