Description
Aldercaps are typically found in damp, wooded areas, particularly near water sources like streams and ponds. They thrive under alder trees, which is reflected in one of their common names. Aldercaps boast small, brownish caps and delicate stems. They are decomposers, playing a key role in breaking down organic matter and recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem, thus supporting forest health and soil vitality.
