Description

Baeospora is a captivating group of fungi known for their small, delicate fruiting bodies with pale, gilled caps. What sets baeospora apart is their unique ecological niche; they are one of the very few agaricoid fungi that use conifer cones as their food source. Typically found in forested areas with conifers, these mushrooms play a crucial role in decomposing conifer cones, contributing to nutrient cycling and the breakdown of organic matter.
