Description
Capitotricha is a group of fungi notable for their distinctive, often ornate fruiting bodies that resemble tiny, delicate cups or discs. They thrive in a variety of environments, usually on decaying wood or plant material, playing a crucial role in the decomposition process. This helps recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem. Some species within this group can only be observed under high humidity conditions or after rainfall, making them fascinating yet elusive finds in nature.
