👉 Cryptosiphum is a genus of fungi in the family Ascomycota, commonly known for their large, brownish-black spores and the presence of a black cap on their hyphae. These spores are used by fungi for reproduction and can be found in soil, compost, or even in human feces. Cryptosiphum is often associated with the study of fungal hyphae and their role in nutrient cycling and plant growth.
