Description
Licrostroma is a rare group of fungi found growing on decaying wood. These organisms form thin, crust-like structures on their substrate. They are known for their unique microscopic features, including specialized cells called cystidia. Licrostroma species are primarily observed in temperate regions and play a role in wood decomposition processes in forest ecosystems.
