Description

Zelleromyces are unique fungi that grow underground. They form small, truffle-like structures with a rubbery texture. Unlike typical mushrooms, zelleromyces do not have a cap or stem. Instead, they have a maze-like interior filled with spores. These fungi have a symbiotic relationship with certain trees, helping them absorb nutrients in exchange for sugars.
