Description
Coniophora is a group of fungi particularly known for causing wood decay. They are notorious for decomposing timber used in buildings, leading to structural damage. One intriguing fact about coniophora is that it thrives in very damp conditions, which is why it is often found in basements or similar environments. These fungi play a vital role in natural ecosystems by breaking down dead wood and recycling nutrients back into the soil.
