Fungi from the Crust
Fungi from the crust are fungi that live on or within the outermost layer of a surface, such as soil, rock, or plant material. These fungi play important roles in ecosystems by breaking down organic matter, recycling nutrients, and forming partnerships with plants (mycorrhizae). They can appear as molds, yeasts, or mushrooms and contribute to the health and stability of their environment. Their presence indicates active biological processes ongoing in the crust layer, enhancing soil fertility and supporting other organisms.
