Research on pigeons - Past and Present

One of the pathogens in the pigeons are fungi. In reference books of microbiology it is stated that even though all life on earth had to be almost eradicated, there would still be fungi. They are considered the debris clearing of nature. Mushrooms, for example, are just the tip of the iceberg, to name it that way, because the fungus threads that carry the mushroom as fruit are underneath.
