occurrenceRemarks | Series of six photographs of worker of Acromyrmex subterraneus (Attini, subtribe Attina) cutting a fragment of the basidioma cap of a Panaeolus fungus (Agaricales: Psathyrellaceae), a genus toxic to humans. The record was made in the Brazilian Chaco in the late afternoon, during the flood period. The curious thing about this observation is that, for Acromyrmex and other genera of ants that grow fungi, this mutualistic association occurs with species of the order Agaricales. Would the ant carry fragments of this mushroom to the nest to take care of the cultivation of another fungus of the same taxonomic level? Likely yes: although the fragment transport to the nest has not been documented in this observation, Dr. Jacques Delabie (in personal communication 2020) suggests that the ant will try to use the pieces of the mushroom to nourish its own fungus. The researcher explains that ants do many cultivation tests in this way and all the time. When they realize that the fungus is not being rejected - either by the mutualistic fungus or by the tiny workers who care for it - the workers will continue to cut while they have tender substrate to cut ... It is the law of least effort! Ant consulting and determination: Dr. Jacques Delabie / Mirmecology Laboratory-CPDC and PPGZOO-UESC; Dr. Rogério Silvestre / HyMB-UFGD.

Série de seis fotografias de operária de Acromyrmex subterraneus (Attini, subtribo Attina) cortando um fragmento do píleo do basidioma de um fungo Panaeolus (Agaricales: Psathyrellaceae), gênero tóxico à espécie humana. O registro foi feito no Chaco Brasileiro no final da tarde, em período de cheia. O curioso dessa observação é que, para Acromyrmex e outros gêneros de formigas que cultivam fungos, essa associação mutualística se dá com espécies da ordem Agaricales. Estaria a formiga levando para o formigueiro fragmentos desse cogumelo para cuidar do cultivo de outro fungo do mesmo nível taxonômico? É provável que sim: embora não tenha sido documentado o transporte do fragmento ao formigueiro nesta observação, o Dr. Jacques Delabie (em comunicação pessoal 2020) sugere que a formiga vai tentar usar os pedaços do cogumelo para nutrir o seu próprio fungo. O pesquisador explica que as formigas fazem muitos ensaios de cultivo deste modo e o tempo todo. Quando perceberem que o fungo não está sendo rejeitado - seja pelo fungo mutualístico, seja pelas operárias diminutas que cuidam dele -, as operárias vão continuar cortando enquanto têm substrato tenro para se cortar... É a lei do menor esforço! Consultoria e determinação da formiga: Dr. Jacques Delabie/Laboratório de Mirmecologia-CPDC e PPGZOO-UESC; Dr. Rogério Silvestre/HyMB-UFGD.
