Description
Rutstroemia are small, cup-shaped fungi often found on various forms of decaying plant matter. Notably, some species in this group are associated with fallen leaves, adding a distinct touch as they decompose. Known for their relatively modest and often darker coloration, these fungi play a crucial role in nutrient recycling within their ecosystem. While they may not stand out dramatically, their presence is a vital part of maintaining the health and balance of forest floors.
