Description
Shiraiaceae is a small family of fungi found primarily in East Asia. They are known for forming unique structures called stromata on bamboo plants. These stromata are compact masses of fungal tissue that can be seen on the surface of infected bamboo stems. Some species in this group have been studied for their potential medicinal properties, particularly in traditional Asian medicine.
