Description
Stereopsis is a unique group of fungi known for their diverse fruiting body forms, including funnel-shaped basidiocarps and corticioid (crust-like) species. These fungi typically grow on decaying wood, playing a crucial role in breaking down lignin and cellulose, which contributes to nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. The ability of stereopsis to decompose tough plant materials underscores their importance in maintaining forest health and biodiversity.
