Description
Podoscypha are fascinating fungi known for their unique, often fan-shaped fruiting bodies that resemble ruffled rosettes or coral formations. They typically grow on wood, often appearing in dense clusters on tree stumps or logs. Some species within this group can have striking colors, ranging from creamy white to deep brown. They play a crucial role in forest ecosystems by decomposing dead wood, thereby recycling essential nutrients back into the soil.
