Description
Tectella is a fascinating group of fungi known for their distinctive small, wood-decaying fruiting bodies that often have a fan or shell-like appearance. They typically grow on dead wood in forested areas. Despite their small size, tectella contributes significantly to the ecosystem by breaking down tough plant materials, recycling nutrients back into the soil.
