Range

Trechispora hymenocystis is a resupinate corticioid fungus forming thin whitish crusts on decaying wood. It inhabits temperate and boreal forests, growing on fallen logs and branches of both hardwood and conifer species. This saprotrophic fungus breaks down woody organic matter through white-rot decay processes.

Rundsporiger Stachelsporling

Trechispora microspora is a corticioid fungus producing very small spores, as its name indicates. It grows as a thin, white to cream-colored crust on the underside of decaying hardwood and conifer logs in temperate and boreal forests. This saprotrophic fungus decomposes dead woody material, contributing to nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems.
