👉 Cladosphaeria is a genus of fungi that belongs to the order Basidiomycetes, commonly known as mushrooms or gills. They are characterized by their cylindrical, conical-shaped cap and the presence of a large spore-producing structure called an inflorescence. Cladosphaeria species produce spores through a process called mycelial sparging, which involves the release of spores from the spore-producing structures on the fungus's body.
