Description

Strobilurus are small fungi known for their unique habit of growing on or near fallen pine cones in forests. They have delicate, often white or light-colored caps and slender stems. These fungi thrive in nutrient-poor environments, breaking down the tough woody material of pine cones. This decomposition process contributes to nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems, benefiting overall forest health.
