Description
Pyronema is a fascinating group of fungi often found thriving in soil and decayed organic matter, especially after wildfires. These fungi have an unusual ability to colonize burnt areas rapidly, benefiting from the high temperatures to propagate. Their spores can survive fires and can germinate in the nutrient-rich ash left behind. Some species emit a distinctive, brightly colored appearance, typically shades of orange or pink.
