Description
Diplomitoporus is a fascinating group of fungi known for producing hard, woody fruiting bodies that often grow on dead or decaying wood. These fungi are especially notable for their role in decomposing wood, helping recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem. They have a distinct pore surface underneath, where spores are released. Some species within this group exhibit unique growth patterns, creating beautiful, circular formations on tree trunks and logs.
