Description
Oudemansiella is a fascinating group known for producing mushrooms with notably slimy caps, especially during damp conditions. These fungi often have a distinctive central stem and produce spores on gills underneath the cap. Some species within this group are known to grow on decaying wood, helping to break it down and recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem.
