Description
Hypocreopsis is a rare wood-inhabiting fungus known for its distinctive horseshoe or bracelet-like shape when fruiting. It grows on decaying wood, often in association with other fungi. Some species of hypocreopsis are considered indicators of old-growth forests due to their preference for undisturbed habitats. The fungus typically has a tough, leathery texture and can persist on its substrate for several years.
