Miniu

Miniu is a genus of fungi belonging to the order Agaricales. These fungi are typically characterized by their small to medium-sized fruiting bodies, often with delicate gills. The cap can vary in shape, from conical to convex, and the stem is usually slender. Minu species are found in various habitats, including forests and woodlands, where they often grow on decaying wood or in association with plant roots. Their ecological roles can include decomposition and mycorrhizal relationships. The taxonomy of the genus has undergone revisions, with some species previously assigned to other genera now placed within Minu. Identification of Minu species often relies on microscopic features in addition to macroscopic characteristics. Research into Minu continues to explore their biodiversity, ecological significance, and potential applications.
