Description

Cryptoporus is a fascinating group of fungi known for their unique way of protecting their spores. They form a special covering over their spore-producing surfaces, creating a safe environment from weather and animals. This adaptation is particularly clever in helping them spread their spores more effectively. Found on dead or dying trees, cryptoporus plays an important role in the ecosystem by breaking down wood and recycling nutrients.
