Fungal enzymes are necessary for the mycelium to break down the dead organic matter and use it as a food source. Chitin is a component of fungal cell walls and would not be produced within the food source itself. Increased oxygen levels and larger bacterial populations are not directly caused by the infiltration of a mycelium.
