Fungi on Mount Royal

The fungi I am going to present are polypores, more specifically Litlle Nested Polypores as this is the specie that I observed. Polypores are a group of fungi that form large fruiting bodies with pores on the underside. We can find most polypores living on tree trunks or branches, consuming the wood. As they consume the wood, they are one of the most important agents of wood decay, and therefore play a crucial role in the nutrient cycle and also the carbon dioxide production of forest ecosystems.
