Description
Honey fungi are fungi known for their ability to form gigantic underground networks, with some of the largest living organisms ever recorded. These fungi can cover several acres and survive for thousands of years. They are often found on trees, where they form distinctive clusters of mushrooms, and play a significant role in forest ecosystems as both decomposers and parasites.
