Description
The ascobolaceae is known for its distinct ability to decompose dung and thrive in such environments. One intriguing fact is that its spores can't germinate until they've passed through the digestive system of an herbivore, making their lifecycle deeply intertwined with that of large animals. These fungi play a pivotal role in nutrient cycling, helping break down organic matter and return essential elements to the soil.
