They have dark caps and grow along the forest floor, but these are no harmless fungi—they’re parasitic plants that get their nutrients from the roots of nearby plants. Suetsugu’s earlier research found that ants, crickets, and cockroaches can disperse the plant’s fruits, but there were some caveats. But when he covered the plants with nets that let through ants but not larger animals, he found that the plant’s fruits were no longer picked up. These crabs can travel up to 328 feet, and are likely spreading these seeds far and wide through their poop. Suetsugu also found that the hermit crabs appear to actively seek out the mature plants, since they were not spotted around immature plants.
