Description
Bonnets are notable for their delicate and small mushroom caps, often resembling tiny parasols. Fascinatingly, some species within this group can glow in the dark due to bioluminescence. These fungi typically thrive in damp and shady places, like forest floors, where they help decompose organic matter, playing a crucial role in nutrient cycling in ecosystems.
