Together with bacteria, saprotrophic fungi are to a large extent responsible for the decomposition of organic matter. They are also responsible for the decay and decomposition of foodstuffs. Among other destructive saprotrophs are fungi that destroy timber and timber products as their mycelia invade and digest the wood; many of these fungi produce their spores in large, woody, fruiting bodies—e.g., bracket or shelf fungi. Paper, textiles, and leather are often attacked and destroyed by fungi. This is particularly true in tropical regions, where temperature and humidity are often very high.
