Description
Pseudoinonotus is a fascinating group known for growing on wood, especially hardwoods. These fungi create bracket-like forms with a distinctive bright orange to yellowish hue, particularly when young. They often develop a tough and woody texture as they age. An interesting trait of these fungi is their ability to cause white rot, breaking down wood components such as lignin and cellulose, significantly influencing forest ecosystems by recycling nutrients.
