Description
Flammulaster is a fascinating group of small mushrooms often found in forested areas. They usually grow on decaying wood or leaf litter, playing a crucial role in breaking down organic material and recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. These fungi generally feature a yellowish, brown, or rusty color. Despite their modest size and appearance, they contribute significantly to the health of forest habitats by decomposing dead plant matter.
