Description
Sordariomycetes are not plants but a class of fungi notable for their crucial role in decomposing organic matter. Characterized by flask-shaped structures called perithecia, which enclose spores, these fungi thrive in diverse habitats, thus impacting ecosystem nutrient cycles. Their distinctive fruiting bodies are pivotal for identification and understanding their ecological functions.
