Description
Schizoporaceae are a group of fungi commonly found on decaying wood, playing a crucial role in breaking down and recycling organic materials in forest ecosystems. They often produce small, leathery fruiting bodies that can be white, beige, or light yellow in color. These fungi are known for their distinctive texture, often appearing as thin, crust-like layers on the surfaces they colonize. Schizoporaceae contribute significantly to nutrient cycling by decomposing lignin and cellulose from wood.
