Description
Peniophoraceae is a widespread family of fungi. Most species in this family are saprobic, a term that refers to their capacity to cause rot and feed on the decayed matter from dead or living trees. Even though this isn't a lichenized family of fungi, their appearance is very similar, typically growing as flattish mats on tree branches and trunks.
