Description
Abortiporus is known for its fascinating ability to change form during its growth, sometimes taking a rosette-like appearance. It typically inhabits decaying wood and plays an essential role in breaking down tough plant material. Some species produce a white or pinkish sensation on the surface, adding to their unique appearance. Abortiporus's impact is quite beneficial to the ecosystem as it helps recycle nutrients back into the soil.
