Microporus is an intriguing group of fungi known for their distinctive, fan-shaped cap with colorful, concentric zones. These fungi often grow on dead or decaying wood in tropical and subtropical forests. They play a vital role in breaking down tough plant materials, helping recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem. Some species within this group are noted for their vibrant colors and have even been used traditionally as natural dyes.
