Description
Amylocorticiales are a fascinating group of fungi known for their unique ecological roles in nature. Often found on decaying wood, they help decompose complex organic materials, playing an essential part in nutrient cycling within forest ecosystems. Some members create intricate fruiting bodies that can appear crust-like on their substrates. These fungi often have a characteristic amyloid reaction, where their spore walls change color when stained, which is a recognizable feature for mycologists.
