Common Grey Disco

<em>Mollisia cinerea</em>, commonly known as the common grey disco, is a saprotrophic fungus belonging to the genus Mollisia within the family Mollisiaceae. This species is native to Europe, with a documented range spanning Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Portugal, and Sweden. Common grey disco is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The species typically produces small, disc-shaped ascocarps with a grey to brownish-grey upper surface, typically emerging on decaying wood and plant debris in moist woodland habitats. As a decomposer, it plays an important ecological role in nutrient cycling within temperate forest ecosystems. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Mollisia hydrophila는 수생 서식지의 수몰되고 방수화된 식물 잔해에서 회색빛 자기(apothecia)를 형성하는 소형 원반 균류입니다. 온대 유럽 및 북아메리카의 하천가, 호수 가장자리, 습한 삼림 환경에 서식합니다. 이 부생성 자낭균은 강가 및 수생 가장자리 서식지에서 방수화된 식물 재료를 분해합니다.
