Description
Cyathia is a specialized structure found in some fungi. It resembles a tiny cup or nest-like formation that contains spore-producing structures. These cup-shaped structures are typically 1-2 mm (0.04-0.08 in) wide and can be seen on the surface of certain fungal fruiting bodies. Cyathia play a crucial role in spore dispersal, often utilizing raindrops to help spread the spores.
