Description
Porodisculus is a fascinating group of fungi known for their small, disc-shaped fruiting bodies. The name porodisculus means "a little, poroid disk," reflecting their distinctive morphology. These fungi are saprobic, meaning they decompose organic matter, and are typically found in large numbers on freshly dead deciduous branches and logging slash.
