Description
Calyptella are unique fungi known for their small, delicate cap structures resembling tiny cups or bells. These fungi typically grow on decaying wood, helping decompose forest debris. One fascinating trait is their ability to form clusters, creating visually striking patterns. A remarkable aspect of calyptella is how they use their cup shape to efficiently capture rainwater, aiding in spore dispersal. This ingenious mechanism highlights the intricate adaptations of fungi to their environments.
