Photography of Rhodotus mushrooms

Rhodotus is a genus of fungi belonging to the Physalacriaceae family. This mushroom has a characteristic pink or bright red color that differentiates it from other types of mushrooms. Rhodotus fungi originate from Europe and North America, where they can be found growing on rotting wood, especially on hardwood trees such as beech and oak. One of the most distinctive characteristics of the Rhodotus mushroom is its appearance.

The cap of this mushroom is usually convex or flat, with a smooth texture and waxy feel. The gills under the cap are closely spaced and pink, which gives the mushroom its characteristic color. Mushroom stems are usually short and thick, with a fibrous texture. Rhodotus fungi are saprotrophic, meaning they obtain nutrients by breaking down organic matter.
