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 hydrophila 是在水生生境浸水和湿润植物残屑上形成灰色子囊盘的小型圆盘状真菌。栖息于温带欧洲和北美洲的溪边、湖缘及潮湿林地环境。该腐生子囊菌在河岸及水生边缘生境中分解水浸植物材料。
