Graphostroma is a rare group of fungi found on dead wood. It forms distinctive black, linear structures on the bark surface, resembling writing or hieroglyphs. These fungi play a role in decomposing wood and are primarily observed in temperate regions. Their unique appearance makes them interesting to mycologists studying wood-inhabiting fungi.
