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.
