Stictoponera hyalina
Bracket fungus is a type of mushroom that grows on trees. It looks like a shelf sticking out from the trunk. These fungi help break down dead trees and recycle nutrients back into the forest.
Hábitat: Forests
The Bracket Fungus is a tough, shelf-like growth, often grey-brown on top with a white underside. It grows horizontally from trees and logs, becoming woody with age. Its flat, porous surface will bruise dark brown when touched.
