Polyporales
Polypores are special mushrooms that grow on trees. They have pores instead of gills underneath their caps. Some polypores are used in traditional medicine or to start fires.
Hábitat: Forests
The Polypore has a shelf-like or bracket-like fruiting body, often growing flat against wood. Its distinguishing feature is a pore-filled underside instead of gills, ranging in color from white to browns, oranges, or yellows. These fungi often have a tough, leathery, or woody texture.

Los organismos que producen esporas se reproducen liberando unidades reproductivas pequeñas, a menudo unicelulares, llamadas esporas.
Los hábitats boscosos son entornos terrestres dominados por una densa cubierta arbórea, que sustentan una gran diversidad de vida animal y vegetal.
Describe a los organismos que descomponen la materia orgánica muerta, reciclando los nutrientes de vuelta al ecosistema.
