Charcoal Eyelash
anthracobia melaloma
The Charcoal Eyelash (Anthracobia melaloma) is a fascinating pyrophilous (fire-loving) cup fungus that plays a vital role in forest recovery. Appearing as tiny, vibrant orange discs, this resilient species is one of the first colonizers of freshly charred soil and bonfire sites. It thrives in the harsh, ash-rich environment left behind by forest fires, where other organisms struggle to survive. By feeding on burnt organic matter, this fungus initiates the decomposition process and helps prepare the sterile post-fire ground for the return of plant life. Its ability to quickly populate desolate, carbon-rich landscapes makes it a remarkable symbol of ecological renewal.
生息地: Found primarily on burnt ground, charcoal remnants, and bonfire sites in both forested and open areas.
外見
This fungus forms tiny, cup-shaped or flat disc-like structures measuring only 1 to 5 millimeters in diameter. They are bright orange, orange-yellow, or brownish-orange in color. The defining feature is the margin of the disc, which is lined with short, dark brown or blackish hairs that resemble tiny eyelashes. These small cups typically grow crowded together in dense, eye-catching clusters directly on blackened charcoal and ash.

おもしろい事実
The spores of this fungus actually germinate much better after being exposed to extreme heat or fire-related chemicals.
The tiny dark hairs on the edges of the cups look so much like eyelashes that they inspired the common name 'Charcoal Eyelash'.
They help prevent soil erosion after forest fires by binding the loose ash and soil with their microscopic network of root-like mycelium.
特殊能力
能力
Pyrophilic Colonization
Thrives exclusively on recently burned soil and charcoal, utilizing post-fire nutrients that are hostile to most other fungal species.
能力
Eyelash Barrier
The dark, protective hairs lining its cup margins help retain moisture and protect the delicate spore-producing surface from dry air.
能力
Active Spore Discharge
Utilizes pressurized microscopic sacs to actively shoot spores into the wind, ensuring rapid colonization of distant burn sites.
