Helles Schilf-Filzbecherchen

Mollisia hydrophila is a tiny disc fungus producing greyish apothecia on submerged and waterlogged plant debris in aquatic habitats. It inhabits streamsides, lake margins, and wet woodland environments in temperate Europe and North America. This saprotrophic ascomycete decomposes waterlogged plant material in riparian and aquatic edge habitats.
