Description
Echinula is a small genus of fungi known for its unique spore-bearing structures. These fungi are characterized by their spiny spores, which give them their distinctive appearance under a microscope. They are typically found growing on dead plant material, particularly on decaying wood and leaves in temperate forests. Some species in this genus have been observed to produce compounds with potential medicinal properties.
