Scientific name: Hymenochaetales
Description
The group hymenochaetales includes many wood-rotting fungi found on trees and logs. These fungi often have tough, woody fruiting bodies that help decompose dead wood, playing an important role in nutrient recycling in forest ecosystems. Some species within this group produce bright-colored crusts or bracket-like structures, making them easier to spot in the wild. One interesting fact about certain species in this group is their ability to form heartwood rot, which weakens living trees from the inside.
