Mutatoderma mutatum is a unique fungus that grows on wood, particularly preferring dead or decaying trees. It forms flat patches that are creamy to pale yellow in color, which help it blend into its surroundings. Mutatoderma mutatum plays a crucial role in its ecosystem by breaking down the cellulose in wood, aiding in the decomposition process.
