Description
Phacidium is a group fascinating for its unique ecological role, primarily in forests where it aids in the decomposition of plant material. Some species within this group are notable for causing needle cast disease in conifers, significantly impacting forestry. They typically produce small, dark-colored fruiting bodies on their host surfaces. While often challenging to spot due to their size and coloring, their presence is crucial in nutrient cycling within forest ecosystems.
