Description

Patellariales are tiny fungi that grow on dead wood and plant material. They have disc-shaped fruiting bodies that are often dark-colored and leathery. These fungi play a role in decomposition, helping break down organic matter in forest ecosystems. Some species in this group have unique adaptations for dispersing their spores in water droplets.
