Description
Atheliales are a fascinating order of fungi known for their role in decomposing wood and other plant materials. Unlike many fungi, they often create inconspicuous, thin, crust-like fruiting bodies on dead wood. These fungi are crucial for nutrient cycling in forests, breaking down complex organic materials into simpler substances. Some species are also studied for their potential in bioremediation.
