Description
Leucogyrophana is a unique group of fungi known for its strikingly light to bright yellow or orange coloration. These fungi typically thrive on decaying wood, helping in the breakdown and recycling of forest materials. Some species within this group have a distinctive, almost fluffy appearance due to their woolly surface texture. Found primarily in temperate regions, leucogyrophana plays an essential role in nutrient cycling within forest ecosystems.
