Description
Tetrapyrgos is known for its charmingly delicate mushrooms, which feature small, umbrella-shaped caps often found on decaying wood. These fungi typically exhibit beautiful, fan-like gill structures underneath their caps. They thrive in tropical and subtropical environments, showcasing nature's incredible ability to recycle nutrients from organic matter back into the ecosystem. Some species in this group are also noted for their rapid growth, sprouting up after rains, making forest floors seem magically transformed overnight.
