👉 Cryptohymenium is a type of fungi that is characterized by its unique appearance, which includes a single cell surrounded by a spherical capsule called the cryptocyst. This capsule can be both protective and defensive, protecting the fungus from predators and allowing it to grow in a variety of environments. Cryptohymenium is often found on the surface of wood or other hard materials, where it can form spores that are then dispersed by wind or water.
