Description
Epicoccum is a group of fungi commonly found on decaying plant material. They produce distinctive dark-colored spores in clusters, giving them a spotted appearance. Some species in this group are known to produce pigments that can be used in the manufacturing of dyes. Epicoccum can also be found living within plant tissues without causing harm, in a relationship called endophytism.
