Description
Phacidiaceae are a group of fungi that primarily inhabit and decompose decaying plant material, especially within the bark and wood of trees. These fungi play an essential role in nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. They are known for producing dark, often black, fruiting bodies on their hosts. Intriguingly, some members of this group can cause tree diseases, impacting forestry and agriculture.
