Description
Lachnellula is a group of tiny fungi that commonly grow on decaying conifer wood, often appearing shortly after the wood starts to decompose. These fungi produce small, colorful, cup-shaped fruiting bodies, which are typically yellow to orange in color. Found primarily in temperate forests, lachnellula plays a role in breaking down dead plant material, aiding in nutrient recycling within their ecosystems.
