Description

Pin molds are interesting organisms often found on decaying organic matter. They play a crucial role in breaking down dead plants and animals, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. These molds produce spore-filled structures that look like tiny pins. Some species within this group can grow incredibly fast, forming colonies in just a few days. Their ability to thrive in diverse environments makes them an important part of both natural and human-influenced habitats.
