Description

Mushroom-forming fungi comprise a diverse class of fungi, primarily known for their pivotal role in decomposing wood and plant material. These organisms generally form large, conspicuous fruiting bodies, often recognized as mushrooms, which can vary widely in shape, color, and size. Their morphology, adapted to efficient spore dispersion, is influenced by their need to thrive in various environmental niches, ranging from forest floors to decaying logs.
