Description
Battarrea is a fascinating group known for their distinctive fruiting structures that resemble tiny trees. Found mainly in arid and semi-arid regions, they thrive in sandy soils and are often spotted near roots of desert plants. One intriguing fact is that their spore dispersal mechanism relies on wind, aiding their survival in harsh environments. Their fruiting bodies can emerge quickly after rain, showcasing their rapid growth potential.
