Description
Albatrellus is a fascinating group of fungi commonly found in forested areas, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere. These fungi are known for their unique ability to form sturdy, sometimes colorful fruiting bodies, often resembling small, shelf-like structures. Some species within this group have a symbiotic relationship with tree roots, helping them absorb nutrients. They can appear in various colors, ranging from white to yellow and even orange, adding vibrant touches to the forest floor.
