Description
Montagnea are known for their unique, almost skeletal appearance. They have a dry and fragile cap structure with distinct grooves and often grow in arid or semi-arid environments. One fascinating feature is their ability to thrive in conditions where most fungi would struggle, demonstrating remarkable adaptability. These fungi play a crucial role in breaking down organic material, contributing to nutrient cycling in challenging ecosystems.
