Description

Honeycomb fungus is notable for its distinct honeycomb-like pores on the underside of its cap. These fungi are typically found on decaying wood and play a crucial role in breaking down dead trees and returning nutrients to the soil. Some species within this group have a uniquely pleasant, fruity smell. The intricate design of their pores not only makes them fascinating to look at but also maximizes their spore-dispersal efficiency.
