Scientific name: Vibrisseaceae
Description
Vibrisseaceae is a distinctive group best known for its unique habitat preferences, typically found in fast-flowing streams and rivers, often attached to submerged wood or plant debris. Several members of this group produce small, hair-like structures that have inspired their collective name. Remarkably, these fungi play an essential role in the decomposition process in aquatic ecosystems, helping to break down organic material and thereby supporting nutrient cycles in their environment.
