Description
Climacocystis is a fascinating group known for forming thick, shelf-like structures on dead or dying trees, commonly found in forests. These fungi play a significant role in decomposing wood, contributing to forest nutrient cycles. They exhibit vibrant colors as they mature, transitioning from white to shades of yellow or reddish. Their porous surface helps in spore dispersal, essential for reproduction. Climacocystis also contributes to biodiversity by providing microhabitats for various small organisms.
