    COMMENSALISM- Epiphytes in trees (Trees provide substrate, presence of Epiphytes has no effect on trees)

    Mutualism- monkeys, birds, and fruit from trees(Trees provide fruit for animals, animals disparse seeds for tree)

    Parasitism- There is no wind on the forest floor. For a fungus to disperse spores by the wind, it has to have a way to rise above the forest floor. Many kinds of decomposers and scavengers of the insect world will incidentally ingest a spore of a certain fungus. As the hyphae grow through the animal's tissues they drive it insane, the insect climbs a tall plant and walks out to the tip of a leaf, and dies as the fruiting body bursts through its back, dispersing its spores in the breeze from its new, exposed position.
