Description

Dermea are small, cup-shaped fungi that grow on the bark of trees, particularly hardwoods. They are known for their dark-colored fruiting bodies, which often appear in clusters. These fungi play a role in decomposing dead wood and can sometimes act as weak pathogens on living trees. Some species within this group have unique enzymes that help break down complex plant materials.
