Description
Osteina is a group known for its unique ability to break down tough plant material. This ability plays an important role in nutrient cycling within forest ecosystems. Members of osteina typically grow on dead or decaying wood, helping to decompose and recycle organic matter. They often form brackets or shelf-like structures on tree trunks and logs, contributing to the intricate web of organisms that maintain healthy forest environments.
