a. fungus

Pioneer species are the first organisms to colonize bare or newly formed habitats. Lichens (a symbiosis including a fungus) and some fungi and mosses can grow on bare rock and begin soil formation, whereas trees and shrubs come later. Grasses may act as pioneers in some disturbed soils but not on bare rock.
