About

    Macrofungi, also known as large fungi or mushrooms, are a diverse group of fungi that produce visible reproductive structures such as caps, gills, and stems. This group includes a wide variety of species, ranging from edible mushrooms to deadly poisonous fungi. Macrofungi play important ecological roles in nutrient cycling, decomposition, and symbiotic relationships with plants. Research on macrofungi includes taxonomy, ecology, physiology, genetics, and potential applications in medicine, food, and bioremediation. Understanding the diversity and functions of macrofungi is crucial for the conservation and sustainable management of ecosystems.
