Description
Hohenbuehelia are fascinating fungi known for their gelatinous texture and unique shelf-like appearance. They often grow on decaying wood and play a crucial role in breaking down forest debris, contributing to nutrient cycling. Unlike many fungi, some species within this group can trap tiny nematodes using adhesive cells, which provides them with additional nutrients. Their distinct form and adaptive strategies make them a captivating subject of study in the world of mycology.
