Description
Leotiales is a fascinating group known for its small, often translucent fruiting bodies. They tend to grow on decaying plant material, particularly wood and leaves, thriving in moist environments. Some species within this group are notable for their role in breaking down complex organic matter, thus playing an essential part in nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Often found in diverse shapes, they are generally tiny and can be easily overlooked.
