Description
Twiglets are a fascinating group of small, often overlooked fungi that typically grow on decaying wood and plant debris. They are known for their tiny, delicate mushrooms that appear in clusters. These fungi play an important role in ecosystems by breaking down organic matter, enriching the soil, and helping recycle nutrients back into the environment. You might encounter them in damp forests, especially after a rainy period.
