Description
Hemimycena are tiny, delicate fungi commonly found on decaying wood and leaf litter. They exhibit a range of colors, from white to shades of grey, often forming small caps with distinct gills. One intriguing aspect of some hemimycena species is their ability to phosphoresce faintly, glowing in the dark. They play a critical role in breaking down organic matter in forests, contributing significantly to nutrient cycling in their ecosystems.
