Description
Phaeomarasmius are a group of fungi commonly found in forested areas. They typically grow on decaying wood or leaf litter, playing a crucial role in breaking down organic material and contributing to nutrient cycling in ecosystems. Members of this group often feature small, brownish caps with gills underneath. While they may look unassuming, their ecological importance lies in their ability to decompose dead plant matter, thus facilitating the recycling of nutrients back into the soil.
