Description
Spathularia are small, club-shaped fungi found in forest habitats. They have a distinctive flattened, spoon-like or fan-shaped fruiting body atop a slender stem. The fruiting bodies are typically yellow to light brown in color. These fungi play a role in decomposing plant matter on the forest floor, contributing to nutrient cycling in their ecosystems.
