Description
Psathyrellaceae is a fungus family that consists mostly of saprobic fungi that feed on decomposing material. This way, these agaric mushrooms serve as decomposers in terrestrial ecosystems. Although the members of this family vary in size, many of them are very fragile and delicate. They all have a dark spore print.
