Bonfire inkcap is distinguished by its ability to thrive in the remains of fire-scorched landscapes. With a preference for charred wood, it contributes to the ecosystem by breaking down debris and enriching the soil. This mushroom displays ephemeral fruiting bodies that emerge quickly and degrade just as rapidly, often appearing overnight after a rainfall.
