Description
Rustgills is a fascinating group of fungi often found on decaying wood, predominantly in forests. These fungi can be identified by their vibrant orange to rusty-brown caps and sometimes even by their slightly bitter taste. In some species, the caps can have scales or a rough texture. Notably, rustgills includes species that produce pigments, adding unique colors to their environment. Additionally, certain species in this group exhibit a distinctive greenish-blue staining when bruised.
