Denessi

Denessi is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Hyaloscyphaceae. These fungi are typically found growing on decaying plant matter, such as wood and leaf litter, in forest ecosystems. They are characterized by their small, cup-shaped fruiting bodies, which are often pale in color and can vary in size from a few millimeters to a centimeter in diameter. The outer surface of the cup may be covered in fine hairs.

The microscopic features of Denessi are important for accurate identification. These include the shape and size of their ascospores, which are contained within asci, and the structure of any paraphyses present. Information regarding the specific species within the Denessi genus is often found in mycological literature and databases. The ecological role of Denessi, like many saprotrophic fungi, is to decompose organic material, contributing to nutrient cycling within their environment. Further research into the biodiversity and ecological impact of this genus continues to be an area of interest for mycologists.
