Description

Urnula is a fascinating group known for its unique cup or urn-shaped fruiting bodies that often blend with their woodland surroundings. Some species display beautiful dark hues, making them stand out against the forest floor. Urnula typically emerges in the spring, thriving on decaying wood, which plays a vital role in nutrient recycling within forest ecosystems. Their unusual shapes and textures contribute significantly to the biodiversity and aesthetic of their habitats.
