Hypochnicium punctulatum belongs to the Meruliaceae family, known for their distinctive porous structures rather than typical gills. This species forms flat, crust-like patches on wood and is primarily found in forested areas, decomposing wood. It plays a key role in nutrient cycling by breaking down the lignin and cellulose in dead trees.
