Description
Leucogaster are underground fungi that form small, truffle-like fruitbodies. They have a unique spongy texture and are often white or pale in color. These fungi form symbiotic relationships with certain tree species, helping them absorb nutrients. Some leucogaster species produce a strong, pungent odor that attracts animals, which aids in spore dispersal.
