Cystodermella are small to medium-sized fungi recognized for their distinctive cap structure, often featuring a textured or scaly surface. Usually found on the ground in forests, they play a role in breaking down organic matter, contributing to soil health and nutrient cycling. While not as commonly discussed as some other fungi, they add to the diversity and complexity of forest ecosystems, making them an integral part of woodland biodiversity.
