👉 Leptotrichus is a genus of fungi that belong to the family Micrococcidiaceae, which are commonly known as leptofoam fungi. They are characterized by their elongated, flattened spores and their ability to form colonies on dead or decaying plant material. Leptotrichus species can cause soil contamination through their spore dispersal, leading to the growth of spores that can be harmful to other organisms in the ecosystem.
