Definition: Helicocoryne is a type of fungus that produces white, powdery spores. It is commonly found in soil and grows on various types of plants, including grasses, weeds, and mosses. The spores are released into the air when the fungus dies from exposure to high temperatures or other environmental factors. Helicocoryne is a crucial part of the ecosystem as it helps to break down organic matter through photosynthesis.
