Description
Ascobolaceae are fascinating because they are a group of fungi primarily known for their ability to break down dung, playing an important role in nutrient recycling. These fungi have an intriguing feature: their spores are discharged explosively when mature. This helps the spores travel greater distances, increasing the chances of finding new substrates. Ascobolaceae are found in various habitats, particularly animal dung, contributing significantly to ecosystem balance.
