Description
Holwaya is a fascinating group known primarily for its unique appearance. The species in this group often produce conspicuous, dark fruiting bodies that emerge from their substrate. They play an important ecological role by decomposing dead plant material, helping recycle nutrients back into the environment. One notable species forms tiny, black, cup-like structures on decaying wood, making it easily recognizable. Though small, holwaya contributes significantly to forest ecosystems and biodiversity.
