Description
Branched collybia often grow on decaying wood and are known for their distinctive, branching fruiting bodies. These fungi are specialists in decomposing wood, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. One particularly interesting fact is that some species within this group can thrive in habitats that are challenging for other fungi, such as high alpine or subalpine environments.
