Nutrition

Fusarium circinatum obtains its food and nutrients from the host that it lives on. Most of the time that host is a tree from the pinus genus. Not much is known about what this fungus eats since it is still being studied. However, as a parasite of trees, the organism must obtain it's food from it's host in order to survive. Most of the time a parasite can not live very long with out a host to get nutrients from.
