Description

Echinosphaeria is a group of fungi found primarily on dead wood in temperate and tropical regions. These organisms produce small, dark-colored fruiting bodies with distinctive spiny or warty surfaces. They play a crucial role in decomposing plant material, contributing to nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Some species within this group have been studied for their potential to produce bioactive compounds.
