Description

Hyphoderma is an interesting group of fungi found primarily on decaying wood, playing a crucial role in breaking down dead trees and recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. They form thin, smooth, crust-like layers on the surfaces they colonize. Some species within this group exhibit vivid colors like bright whites and yellows, adding splashes of color to the forest floor.
