Description

Patellariaceae are small, disc-shaped fungi often found on dead wood or bark. They have a dark, leathery appearance and can be mistaken for lichens. Some species in this group have unique spore-producing structures that resemble tiny cups or saucers. Patellariaceae are important decomposers in forest ecosystems, breaking down woody material and recycling nutrients.
