Cudoniella is a group of fungi known for their small, cup or disc-shaped fruiting bodies that are often found on decaying wood in damp environments. These fungi tend to appear after rainfall and are uniquely adapted to thrive in wet conditions. A visually remarkable feature of some cudoniella species includes their translucent or jelly-like texture. They play a crucial role in forest ecosystems by breaking down dead organic matter and recycling nutrients back into the soil.
