| fast flow |
Water flow with a high energy. In times of high flow vegetation is regularly scoured from the channel leaving shingle boulders and sand. Most often associated with upland streams and high energy rivers. |

| fast flowing streams & waterfalls |
The assemblage type is found within and on the margins of fast-flowing streams, especially in moss on bedrock and boulders often in the splash zone of waterfalls and torrents. |

| freshwater seepages |
Freshwater seepages, often on beaches, that run through coastal habitats. These are often very small, shallow and discreet, sometimes surrounded by reeds and other vegetation. |

| fungal fruiting bodies |
A large variety of wood-decay fungi are active in all types of woody tissues from heartwood through to twigs and roots. All produce fruiting bodies on the outside of the decaying wood and above ground, which are exploited by this assemblage type. |
resource |
| fungal fruiting bodies (ISIS) |
The assemblage type is found in and around trees and shrubs generally, but especially in older specimens. A large variety of wood-decay fungi are active in all types of woody tissues from heartwood through to twigs and roots. All produce fruiting bodies on the outside of the decaying wood and above ground, which are exploited by this assemblage type. |
