Description
Gloeoporus are known for their wood-decaying abilities, particularly breaking down tough layers in dead trees. They often produce white rot, which means they leave behind a soft, white cellulose after removing lignin, a complex organic polymer. Gloeoporus typically form crust-like appearances on wood and have a creamy to brown. They play an important ecological role by recycling nutrients and decomposing organic matter in forest ecosystems.
