Description
Onnia is a wood-inhabiting fungi often found on coniferous trees, forming large, bracket-shaped fruiting bodies. They typically have a tough, corky texture and can sometimes cause decay in the wood they inhabit. Some species of onnia produce a distinctive saucer-like structure with a velvety surface. These fungi play an essential role in forest ecosystems by decomposing dead wood and returning nutrients to the soil.
