Gongylidia Gongylidia are hyphal swellings of fungus cultivated by higher-attine genera of fungus-growing ants . This fungus no longer exists naturally outside the ant colonies. Gongylidia are fed to the developing larvae and distributed throughout the colony to feed workers, soldiers, and the queen.〔http://raupplab.umd.edu/raupplab_java/bow-reader.jsp?/wt/raupplab/bugweek/archive/BugOfWeek_07B.html〕 They are ellipsoid, about 30-50 micrometres in diameter〔http://www.sydneyfungalstudies.org.au/articles/fungalagandengants.pdf〕 and rich in lipids and carbohydrates derived from the leaves and are produced in clusters (called staphylae). ==References==
