Description
Nigrofomes is a group of wood-decay fungi known for their distinctive black, hard, and hoof-shaped fruiting bodies. These fungi are typically found on hardwood trees in tropical and subtropical regions. They play a crucial role in decomposing dead wood, contributing to nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Some species within this group can persist on trees for many years, slowly breaking down the wood.
