Description
Corticium, known for its variety, is mainly found on decaying wood. This group forms smooth, crust-like layers on the surfaces they inhabit. They play a crucial role in breaking down tough plant material, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. Some species of corticium are known for their distinctive colors, ranging from white to pink or yellow, adding a splash of color to forest floors and dead logs.
