Brown crust fungus is a form of corticioid fungi and it is of great ecological importance as well as morphological and evolutionary diversity. It can be found on any wood material, growing on the underside of a stick or log, on the bark of living trees, or even on the bottom of leaves, duff, and rocks. They make their living as saprotrophs, eating dead organic matter. |
