Description
Perenniporia is a fascinating group of fungi known for its ability to form perennial fruiting bodies, which often persist year-round on wood. These fungi play a crucial role in forest ecosystems by breaking down tough wood materials, helping recycle nutrients back into the soil. Some species within this group can cause tree decay, demonstrating their powerful enzymatic capabilities to decompose lignin and cellulose. Their tough, corky textures and varied shapes make them quite distinctive in wild habitats.
