Feeding on dead plant or animal biomass by sessile organisms
Fungi are the primary decomposers in most environments, illustrated here Mycena interrupta .
Saprophages are organisms that obtain nutrients by consuming decomposing dead plant or animal biomass.[1] They are distinguished from detritivores in that saprophages are sessile consumers while detritivores are mobile.[citation needed ] Typical saprophagic animals include sedentary polychaetes such as amphitrites (Amphitritinae , worms of the family Terebellidae) and other terebellids.
The eating of wood, whether live or dead, is known as xylophagy. The activity of animals feeding only on dead wood is called sapro-xylophagy and those animals, sapro-xylophagous.
