Description

Merulius is a group of wood-decay fungi known for their distinctive waxy or gelatinous fruiting bodies. They typically form thin, spreading patches on dead wood, often with a wrinkled or net-like surface. Some species in this group can cause significant damage to wooden structures, leading to what's known as "dry rot" in buildings.
