Description
Echinoderma is a fascinating group of fungi known for having distinct, often spiny or scaly surfaces. These features give them a unique appearance that easily sets them apart from other fungi. They can be found growing in leaf litter, primarily in forested areas. Some species within echinoderma have beautifully patterned caps that vary in color from white to brown, adding a touch of visual interest to the forest floor.
