Description
Neolentinus is a unique group of fungi known for their ability to decay wood, particularly in forest environments. Many species in this group have a saw-toothed or serrated edge on their gills, which is a distinctive trait. They often play an important role in recycling nutrients by breaking down tough plant materials like lignin. Members of neolentinus are typically found on decaying logs, stumps, and fallen branches, contributing significantly to the forest ecosystem's health.
