Description
Hairy earth tongues is a captivating group of fungi known for their distinctive, tongue-shaped fruiting bodies. These fungi typically grow on soil, often in mossy or grassy areas, and are characterized by their dark, almost black coloration. A notable feature of hairy earth tongues species is their smooth, fleshy texture and the absence of a distinct cap and stem, which sets them apart from many other fungi. They play a role in nutrient cycling and decomposition within their ecosystems.
