They are typically small and can be found in various colors, making them an interesting find for enthusiasts exploring wooded areas. While some species are more common in temperate regions, others are rare and sought after by mycologists. These fungi play a crucial role in decomposing organic matter, thus contributing to forest ecosystems.
