Description
Langermannia are fascinating due to their large, round fruiting bodies, which can grow quite big compared to many other fungi. They are known for resembling oversized puffballs and have a soft, spongy texture. When mature, they release a cloud of spores, which is a striking sight. Found primarily in grasslands and open woods, they play a significant role in decomposing organic matter, aiding nutrient cycling in ecosystems.
