Description
Cucurbitariaceae are small fungi found on dead wood and bark of various trees and shrubs. They form dark, spherical structures called perithecia that often appear in clusters. Some species in this group have unique spores with multiple cross-walls, giving them a distinctive appearance under a microscope. Cucurbitariaceae play a role in decomposing plant material in forest ecosystems.
