Ants are well-known as cultivators of fungi. Certain ant species, particularly those in the tribe Attini, have evolved a symbiotic relationship with specific fungi. These ants cultivate the fungus within their nests, providing it with food and a controlled environment. In return, the fungus provides the ants with nutrients. This is a fascinating example of mutualism in nature.

Cockroaches are omnivores and scavengers. They do not cultivate fungi.

Crabs are primarily scavengers or predators. They are not known to cultivate fungi.

Spiders are predators and capture their prey (insects) in webs. They do not cultivate fungi.
