Description
Geoglossomycetes are soil-dwelling fungi known for their distinctive club-shaped or tongue-like fruiting bodies. They often appear black or dark-colored and grow on the ground in damp, shaded areas. These fungi play important roles in decomposing organic matter in forest ecosystems. Some species within this group have unique spore-dispersal mechanisms, including forcibly ejecting their spores into the air.
