Description
Xeromphalina are a fascinating group of fungi known for their small, delicate fruiting bodies. They often grow in dense clusters on decaying wood in moist forest environments. These fungi have thin, wiry stems and colorful caps that range from orange to brown, often shimmering with a moist or glossy texture. Unique to some species in this group is their gills, which extend down the stem, adding to their intricate appearance. They play a crucial role in forest ecosystems by breaking down dead wood and recycling nutrients.
