Description
Heyderia is a group notable for its unique, small, club-shaped fruiting bodies that often rise from decaying organic matter like wood and leaves. These fungi typically thrive in moist, wooded environments, making them a common sight on the forest floor during autumn. They play a key role in decomposing leaf litter and recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. The distinct appearance and ecological importance of heyderia make them an interesting subject of study for both amateur and professional mycologists alike.
