Piptoporellus is a group of wood-decaying fungi found primarily in tropical and subtropical regions. They typically form bracket-like fruiting bodies on dead or dying trees. These fungi play a crucial role in decomposing woody material, contributing to nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Some species within this group are known for their ability to break down complex lignin compounds in wood.
