It is found in Australia where it grows as a saprophyte on wood. Ulocladium atrum is a fungal saprophyte. It is sometimes a non-lethal parasite and possibly a saprophyte. Typically, "N. cinnabarina" grows as a saprophyte on dead wood. This fungus is often found as a saprophyte on logs of woody species. "L. monocytogenes" can act as a saprophyte or a pathogen, depending on its environment. The bacterium is a saprophyte deriving its nutrition from cellulose aerobically. The pathogen begins as a saprophyte on stem residue and survives in the stubble. In the fall, "C. graminicola" survives as a saprophyte on corn leaf residue. While usually a saprophyte, it has also been reported as a parasite of grass. "Saprophyte" ("-phyte" meaning "plant") is a botanical term that is no longer in popular use. The gametophyte lives underground as a saprophyte, sometimes in a mycorrhizal association. Like all members of its genus, "Roridomyces austrororidus" grows as a saprophyte on rotting wood. "Trichothecium roseum" is a saprophyte and is found worldwide. The pathogenic form of "Pseudomonas luteola" is a saprophyte.
