Description
Carbonicola is a fascinating group largely found in charred wood, hence their name which means 'coal dweller'. Many species within this group are known for their resilience in post-fire environments, often appearing in places affected by wildfires. Their unique ability to thrive in these difficult conditions makes them vital for ecosystem recovery, aiding in the breakdown of burnt plant material and contributing to soil fertility.
