Description
Collybia are fungi known for growing in woodlands, especially on decaying wood and litter. They often appear in clusters and are particularly notable for their tough, rubbery stems. Interestingly, some species within this group are saprotrophic, meaning they play a vital role in breaking down and recycling organic matter in forest ecosystems. The caps of collybia can be quite small and delicate, adding subtle beauty to the forest floor.
