Description
Mycenastrum is a fascinating group of fungi remarkable for their unique, often large, fruiting bodies that can resemble puffballs. What makes them special is their ability to create a spore mass that eventually becomes powdery, aiding in efficient spore dispersion through the wind. These fungi are typically found in dry, open habitats such as grasslands or sandy soils, contributing to their distinct ecological niche.
