Description

Ascocoryne are fascinating fungi that often appear as gelatinous, brightly-colored growths on decaying wood, with hues ranging from violet to lilac. They are found predominantly in temperate forests. A unique aspect of ascocoryne is their ability to exhibit asexual and sexual reproductive stages within the same species, allowing them to adapt and thrive in various environments. These fungi also contribute to nutrient cycling by breaking down organic matter.
