Description
Sarcomyxa is a wood-decaying fungus group known for its fan-shaped or shell-like fruiting bodies. These fungi typically grow in clusters on dead or dying hardwood trees. Their caps are often smooth and can range in color from pale yellow to olive-brown. Sarcomyxa species play an important role in forest ecosystems by breaking down wood and recycling nutrients.
