Description
Hypomyces are fascinating fungi known for their parasitic nature, often attacking other mushrooms and altering their appearance and texture dramatically. Interestingly, some species within this group can change the color of their host to bright shades like red or yellow. They play a critical role in ecosystems by contributing to the decomposition process and nutrient cycling, helping break down organic matter and releasing nutrients back into the environment.
