Description
Coral fungi are a fascinating group with a branching, coral-like appearance, often found on the forest floor. These organisms come in various vibrant colors like yellow, pink, and white. They have a unique role in the ecosystem, helping decompose wood and recycle nutrients back into the soil. Some species within the group produce striking fruiting bodies that resemble underwater sea corals, adding a splash of color and texture to the forest landscape.
