Description
Hemileccinum is an interesting group of fungi often found in forested areas, typically forming a symbiotic relationship with trees. One notable trait of some species in this group is their unique ability to change color when bruised or cut, often turning blue. These fungi generally have thick stems and spongy pore surfaces instead of traditional gills, which help in spore dispersal. Their symbiotic nature aids in nutrient exchange, benefiting both the fungi and the trees.
