👉 A cryptocaryon is a type of fungus that grows in soil or on rocks, typically found in arid regions and under acidic conditions. They are characterized by their large, white fungal spores and have a unique ability to colonize and grow underground without the aid of external growth factors like water or air. Cryptocaryons can be both beneficial and harmful for ecosystems as they help stabilize soil pH levels and improve nutrient cycling in arid regions.
