Lachnum, tiny and delicate fungi, thrive on decaying plant material, often giving off a soft, furry appearance. Remarkably, these fungi play a significant role in breaking down organic matter in their ecosystems, fostering nutrient recycling. Lachnum often produce minuscule, white, or pale-colored fruit bodies and can sometimes be seen on twigs of plants, especially in damp environments. Their subtle presence highlights the intricate balance within nature's decomposition processes.
