Mushroom Colony?

[Attatexana]

I've never heard something like this , very interesting. The only specie that live in fungi that I know of are Atta and Acromyrmex from South-America, but that obviously isn't the case here. Could you take a picture of the ants so we can identify it ?
[/quote] Atta and Acromyrmex do not live in fungus they bring leafs and other materials to the fungus to feed it so the ants can latter eat the fungus. Also Atta and Acromyrmex live in both North and South America.

Why didn't the quote work?

The quote didn't work because you wrote it like this----

I stumbled across a large puffball in the forest at Kortright Conservation center with ants crawling over the top. There appeared to be an opening n the top where they were coming and going

Maybe they are living in it or are collecting food from it.

That does appear to be foraging activity, was there a trail leading to/from the puffball you could have followed?

That odd moment when you realize this could be a new behavior of ants unknown to science.
