Description
Leiotrametes is a fascinating group of fungi known for forming shelf-like structures on wood. These fungi often display beautifully intricate, wavy edges and are typically characterized by a smooth surface. Found in tropical and subtropical regions, leiotrametes plays an important role in decomposing wood, assisting in nutrient cycling within forest ecosystems. While admired for their aesthetic qualities, their growth patterns also contribute to biodiversity by creating habitats for other small organisms.
