Biology:Fungus pocket

From HandWiki

Fungus pockets are any of various convergently evolved inoculum-retention and -cultivation organs in a wide range of insect taxa. They are generally[1][2] divided into mycangia (or "mycetangia")[3] and infrabuccal pockets. Fungus pockets are found in ambrosia beetles,[4][3] bark beetles, termites and attine ants.[1][2]
