Lasiobolus is a group of fungi known for their small, often bright orange to reddish fruiting bodies that typically grow on decaying plant material or dung. They have specialized structures that release spores in a unique way, often relying on animals or environmental factors to aid in dispersal. This group is recognized for its role in nutrient recycling within ecosystems, breaking down organic material and contributing to soil fertility.
