Description
Microglossum includes fungi often recognized by their small, tongue-shaped fruiting bodies, which emerge from the ground usually in mossy or grassy areas. Some species within this group have strikingly colorful appearances, ranging from green to yellow to reddish hues. Interestingly, microglossum play a crucial role in ecosystems by decomposing organic matter, thereby recycling essential nutrients back into the soil, supporting plant growth and biodiversity.
