Description
Wolfina is a rare group of cup fungi found in North America and Europe. They form small, dark-colored, cup-shaped fruiting bodies on decaying wood or soil. These fungi are notable for their unique spore dispersal mechanism, which involves the forceful ejection of spores into the air. Some species in this group have a distinctive hairy or furry appearance on their outer surface.
