Description
Phellinopsis is a group of fungi known for its role in forest ecosystems, particularly in wood decay. Found often on dead or dying trees, they play a crucial role in breaking down tough wood fibers, recycling nutrients back into the environment. These fungi typically form large, shelf-like structures on tree trunks, which can be a rich habitat for various insects and other small creatures. Some species are notable for their endurance in harsh, cold conditions, contributing to their wide geographical distribution.
