Description
Steccherinum are fascinating fungi often found growing on decaying wood. They usually form crust-like structures that can appear furry or bristly. Some species of steccherinum have vibrant colors, making them noticeable in their natural habitat. These fungi play a significant role in forest ecosystems by breaking down dead wood, which helps recycle nutrients back into the soil. Observing them can provide a glimpse into the delicate process of decomposition in nature.
