Tapinella are fungi known for their unique fan or shell-shaped caps, often found growing on decaying wood. They typically have thick, soft flesh and can exhibit a range of colors, including shades of yellow and brown. Some species within this group are known for their distinct spore prints, which can be a striking yellowish brown. These fungi thrive in various environments, particularly in temperate forests, where they play an important role in breaking down dead organic matter.
