Description

Tyromyces is a group known for its soft and often watery texture, reminiscent of cheese. These fungi typically grow on decaying wood, helping to break it down. Many species in this group develop white to cream-colored fruiting bodies that can brighten forest scenery. Tyromyces exemplifies the important ecological role fungi play in nutrient cycling, as they break down complex organic materials into simpler compounds.
