Description
Jahnoporus is a fascinating group of fungi known for their distinctive fruiting bodies, which typically feature large, fleshy caps and pores on the underside. These mushrooms are commonly found on decaying wood, particularly in forested areas, where they play a crucial role in breaking down lignin and cellulose, contributing to nutrient cycling within their ecosystems. One notable species within this group is Jahnoporus hirtus, which is recognized by its velvety cap surface and white to creamy pores.
