Botryobasidium conspersum

A species of Botryobasidium.

Botryobasidium conspersum, a fungus within the Botryobasidiaceae family, commonly manifests as a delicate, film-like layer on decomposing timber, thereby facilitating its decomposition. This particular species is recognized for its ability to extend over the wood's surface, presenting a slightly velvety texture due to minute, hair-like filaments. It contributes to ecological nutrient cycles by deconstructing the lignin and cellulose components of wood.
