Description

Grammothele is a group of wood-decaying fungi found in tropical and subtropical regions. They form thin, crust-like fruiting bodies on dead wood, often with intricate patterns resembling tiny mazes or hieroglyphics. Some species in this group have been studied for their potential in biodegradation of lignin, a component of wood, which could have applications in biotechnology and environmental remediation.
