Description
Phellinidium are a group of wood-decaying fungi primarily found on coniferous trees. They play a crucial role in forest ecosystems by breaking down tough tree materials, contributing to nutrient cycling. These fungi exhibit a unique ability to create large, perennial fruiting bodies that can persist for years. Some species within this group are known to produce conspicuous, crusty, and often dark-colored structures directly on the bark of trees.
