Description
Gyroporus are a group typically recognized for their hollow stipes, which is rather unusual among similar organisms. They inhabit a variety of ecosystems but commonly favor sandy soils and woodlands, often forming symbiotic relationships with certain trees. A unique feature of some species in this group is their ability to change color when cut or bruised, often turning shades of blue or green. This group’s distinct characteristics make them a fascinating subject of study in mycology.
