Description
Anthracobia are often found in recently burned areas, growing on charred wood or soil. These fungi play a significant role in the ecosystem by helping to decompose burnt organic matter, contributing to soil health and nutrient cycling. They typically appear as small, brightly colored fruiting bodies, often in shades of orange or red, making them quite striking against the blackened backdrop of their habitat.
