2x - F. pallidefulva (colonies) 1x T. sessile (mega colony)
2x - C. cerasi (colonies) workers are here!
1x - B. depilis (founding but no eggs)
4x - P. imparis (colonies) Unfortunately no multi queen P. imparis colonies as all of the queens died due to fungus infection (assumed). RIP

One of the articles (from 2022) stated not very clearly though but not with too much doubt that they were created from trophic eggs. Perhaps a typo of some sort then.Atta do not make fungus pellets out of trophic eggs.

A source would be helpful. Fungus pellets =/= trophic eggs though, as fungus pellets are carried in the mouth by female alates prior to leaving the nest.
