Heliocybe is a group of fungi known for their remarkable ability to thrive in tough, wood-rich environments. A standout feature is their small, sunburst-like caps that often exhibit a striking golden hue. They have a unique affinity for decaying wood, making them important decomposers in forest ecosystems. These fungi typically appear in small clusters and are noted for their resilience and adaptability, contributing significantly to nutrient cycling in their habitats.
