Description
Pachylepyrium is a small genus of fungi found primarily in North America. These mushrooms are known for their distinctive appearance, featuring a scaly or warty cap surface. They typically grow on decaying wood in coniferous forests. Pachylepyrium species have thick-walled spores, which is an unusual characteristic among similar mushroom groups. Their ecology and specific roles in forest ecosystems are still subjects of ongoing research.
