Description
Fomes are wood-decaying fungi known for their distinctive hard, bracket-like structures that often resemble shelves. They can be found growing on trees and logs, contributing significantly to the decomposition process in forests. They create intriguing patterns on their surfaces as they age. Some species within this group can persist for many years, forming multi-layered growth rings. These fungi also play an essential role in nutrient cycling within their ecosystems.
