Description
Peniophora is a fascinating group often found on the bark of trees. They are known for their ability to produce a range of vibrant colors, including pink, red, and orange hues, especially after rain. Some species have a unique waxy or crusty texture. These organisms play an essential role in ecosystems by decomposing dead wood, which helps recycle nutrients back into the environment.
