Description
Patellaria is a group of small, disc-shaped fungi often found on dead wood. They have a hard, black outer layer that protects their spore-producing structures. These fungi play a role in decomposing plant material, contributing to nutrient cycling in ecosystems. Some species in this group have unique adaptations for dispersing their spores in wet conditions.
