Description
Skeletocutis are fascinating fungi typically found on decaying wood in forests. They are known for their white or cream-colored fruiting bodies, which often appear crust-like and can cover large areas. These fungi play an important role in breaking down wood, contributing to the nutrient cycle in forest ecosystems. Some species within this group can be distinguished by their unique skeletal-like hyphal structure, which gives them their name.
