Description

Megacollybia are fascinating organisms found across various regions, known for their large, spreading clusters of caps. They thrive in moist, wooded environments and play a crucial role in breaking down dead organic matter, helping to recycle nutrients back into the soil. Unique to some species within this group is their ability to produce rhizomorphs – root-like structures that help them extend their reach and efficiently absorb nutrients.
