Description
Earth tongues are fascinating fungi characterized by their dark, tongue-shaped fruiting bodies. They are typically found in grassy or mossy habitats and are known for their unique appearance, resembling small, black, or brown tongues emerging from the ground. These fungi play an important ecological role by decomposing organic matter, thereby contributing to nutrient cycling in their ecosystems.
