Dermateaceae

Dermateaceae fungi are characterized by their fruiting bodies, which are often small, cup-shaped, or tongue-shaped structures.

Many species within this family are saprophytic, meaning they obtain nutrients by decomposing organic matter, such as dead plant material.

Like other fungi, Dermateaceae reproduce through the formation of spores, typically produced in the fruiting bodies.

Some species are highly specialized to colonize specific substrates, while others have a broader ecological range.
