How does hairy curtain crust grow?
Hairy curtain crust typically grows on fallen or standing dead wood. It starts as fungal spores that land on a suitable wood substrate. These spores germinate and develop hyphae, which form a network called mycelium. The mycelium digests the wood's cellulose, allowing hairy curtain crust to absorb nutrients. It forms fruiting bodies that appear as tough, woody brackets or crusts, which release spores to propagate. Growth rate and pattern depend on temperature, humidity, and substrate quality.
