Description
Dacryobolus is a fascinating group of fungi known for their unique ability to form fruiting bodies that appear gelatinous when wet. These fruiting bodies often grow on decaying wood, contributing to the decomposition process. Their striking appearance can vary in color, typically yellowish to orange, adding a splash of vibrancy to the forest floor. Dacryobolus plays a crucial role in nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems.
