Daldinia decipiens is a ball-shaped, carbonaceous ascomycete fungus producing firm, rounded stromata on dead wood of broadleaf trees, displaying characteristic concentric zones when sectioned. It is found in temperate forests and woodland edges across Europe and contributes to the decomposition of hardwood. Listed as Data Deficient, its exact distribution and ecology require further investigation.

Gekammerter Kugelpilz

Daldinia loculata is a pyrenomycete fungus producing hard, globose to hemispherical stromata with characteristic concentric zones visible in cross-section. It grows on dead hardwood and occasionally burned wood in temperate forests. This saprotrophic ascomycete decomposes dead wood and is associated with post-fire habitats.
