Description

Cytidia are a fascinating group known for their unique appearance and growth pattern. They often form jelly-like structures on decaying wood, typically in damp, forested environments. These fungi are especially interesting due to their ability to thrive in cool, moist conditions, making them a common sight in temperate rainforests. Their role in breaking down dead wood helps recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem, supporting numerous forms of plant and animal life.
