Description

Melanomma lichen is a group of tiny fungi that often grow on dead wood or bark. These organisms form small, dark, flask-shaped structures on their host. They play a crucial role in decomposing plant material in forests and other ecosystems. Some species in this group have been found living inside living plants without causing harm, in a relationship called endophytism.
