Description
Rutstroemiaceae are unique for being small, often cup-shaped fungi found mostly on plant debris or dead wood. They play an important role in ecosystems as decomposers, breaking down organic material and recycling nutrients back into the soil. Some species within this group are known to grow on specific plants, showing specialized relationships with their hosts. Their fruiting bodies can appear in various vibrant colors, adding a splash of color to forest floors and woodland areas.
