Description
Sphagnurus is a group known for its fascinating symbiotic relationship with Sphagnum mosses. Found predominantly in boggy habitats, these organisms play a crucial role in nutrient cycling. Sphagnurus can often be observed growing in moist and acidic environments, contributing to the unique ecology of peatlands. Their presence helps break down organic material, making them essential for maintaining the health and sustainability of these wetland ecosystems.
