Description

Tulasnella is a fascinating group of fungi known for their often inconspicuous, crust-like fruiting bodies. When visible, these basidiocarps are typically smooth, waxy to subgelatinous, and frequently display lilaceous to violet-grey hues. They are commonly found on the underside of fallen branches and logs. Tulasnella plays a crucial role in the decomposition process and nutrient cycling within forest ecosystems.
