They are dumping the leaves next to the fungus and the minute ones are messing with them but not taking them further. I suppose they must be just taking particles as there are tiny specs of green on the fungus. I put a nastursham flower in and there were little specs of orange on the fungus but you really had to look close. Yesterday i changed the lay out, i raised the ceramic tile the fungus is on higher by 4 and took the rest out and replaced with hyrolica, which are small clay balls used in horticulture to keep up humidity and added more water. The RH was already + 91 so i probably havent gained anything from doing this. Now i can't see through the glass because of the condensation GRRRRRrrrrrrr..... :)
lol well im sure all will be ok , i had the same with condensation , i have put bird sand around the tiles so as the condensation ran down the sides of the container the sand absorbed it and it didnt create puddles. Seems to be working so far. :D
So the fungus never recovered , i managed to get some more and the queen was busy for about a week trying to reassemble it. The workers had'nt cut any leaves for a few weeks now but yesterday the queen began to wander about and died this morning :( i can only think that she was either exhausted or stressed.
