Description
Typhula are a group of fungi known for their ability to thrive in cold environments, often appearing in late fall and winter on decaying plant material. They play a vital role in decomposing dead grass and leaves, helping to enrich the soil with nutrients. Some species of typhula can cause 'gray snow mold' on turfgrass, commonly seen after snowmelt. Their resilience and contribution to natural ecosystems make them fascinating subjects in mycology.
