Description

Mycenella are tiny mushrooms typically found on decaying wood or plant debris in forests. They have delicate, bell-shaped caps and thin stems. Some species within this group produce a unique enzyme that breaks down lignin in wood. Mycenella are often overlooked due to their small size, but play an important role in decomposition processes within forest ecosystems.
