Description
Sarcosoma is known for its fascinating, often gelatinous texture that makes it unique among forest fungi. These fungi typically appear in early spring on forest floors, sometimes resembling dark, leathery cushions. One intriguing trait is that sarcosoma can absorb and retain a remarkable amount of water, allowing it to survive in drier conditions. This group's appearance can be quite striking, adding to the diverse visual tapestry of woodland ecosystems.
