Description
Leucopaxillus is a group known for their large, sturdy mushrooms that often grow in clusters or circular patterns known as fairy rings. They thrive in forests and grassy areas, forming symbiotic relationships with plants by breaking down organic matter. Some species in this group have a distinct, starchy or bitter taste, releasing distinctive odors. These fungi play a crucial role in ecosystems by decomposing organic material and recycling nutrients.
