Description
Nitschkiaceae are small, dark fungi found on decaying wood and plant material. They have distinctive flask-shaped structures called perithecia that house their spores. Some species in this group form relationships with lichens, living on their surfaces. Nitschkiaceae play a role in decomposition processes in forest ecosystems, breaking down organic matter.
