decomposers
Saprotrophic fungi and bacteria that absorb nutrients from nonliving organic material such as corpses, fallen plant material, and the wastes of living organisms, and convert them into inorganic forms.

Decomposers
Food Webs
Most food chains are interconnected. Animals typically consume a varied diet and, in turn, serve as food for a variety of other creatures that prey on them. These interconnections create food webs.
Decomposers and detritivores utilize energy from wastes or dead organisms, and so complete the cycle by returning nutrients to the soil or water, and carbon dioxide to the air and water. See water cycle for more on water's role.
The fungi and bacteria are the earth's recyclers or decomposers. The fungi secrete digestive enzymes into their environment and absorb the nutrients through their cell wall and cell membrane.

Decomposers are organisms, mostly bacteria and fungi that recycle nutrients from decaying organic material. Decomposers break down detritus, nonliving organic matter, into inorganic matter.
detritus Dead organic matter and the decomposers that live on it.

FUNGI
This kingdom is made up of the decomposers (they absorb nutrients). Some of the members of this kingdom are fungi, slime molds, yeast, mold, and mushrooms.
Probably at the base of the mat, mainly, at the bottom where there's not enough light. Mostly the organisms there are decomposers, so they're breaking down the mat using the organic carbon for their own growth.
Predominantly bacteria and fungi, decomposers are important in freeing the last of minerals and nutrients from organics and recycling them back into the food web. See also decomposition; compare detrivore.
biological/biotic factors -- Living factors such as decomposers, scavengers and predators.
