Description
Diatrypella are small fungi that grow on dead wood, particularly on branches of deciduous trees. They form dark, crusty patches on the bark surface. These fungi play a crucial role in decomposing wood and recycling nutrients in forest ecosystems. Their fruiting bodies are typically clustered together and have a distinctive flask-like shape when viewed under magnification.
