Description
Rhizomarasmius is a unique group of fungi known for its interesting way of spreading. It produces thread-like structures that resemble roots, which help attach the fungus to dead plant material. Some species within this group often grow on the fallen leaves or twigs of deciduous trees. Rhizomarasmius is fascinating for its ability to break down tough plant materials, playing a crucial role in the forest ecosystem by recycling nutrients.
