Inonotus

Inonotus is known for producing large, woody fruiting bodies often found on trees. This group is particularly fascinating because some species possess medicinal properties that have been used in traditional remedies. They typically grow in a shelf-like formation and are notable for their conspicuous size and tough texture. Inonotus plays a critical role in forest ecosystems by decomposing dead wood, thus contributing to nutrient cycling.
