Description
Hypsizygus are a group of fungi known for their striking, often umbrella-shaped caps. They typically grow on fallen logs or decaying wood, playing an essential role in breaking down dead trees and recycling nutrients back into the forest ecosystem. Some species in this group form dense clusters, while others appear more solitary. They are often found in temperate forests, thriving in moist, cool conditions.
