kleie

Kleie is a term that can refer to several things, primarily related to agricultural byproducts or specific types of fungi. In the context of agriculture, "kleie" often denotes the husks or bran of grains, such as wheat, rye, or oats, after the starchy endosperm has been milled out. This outer layer is rich in fiber and nutrients and is commonly used as animal feed or in the production of certain food items. It can also be a component in composting materials due to its organic nature.

Another common usage of "kleie" is in mycology, where it refers to a group of fungi. These fungi are known for their small size and often unassuming appearance. They are typically found in damp or decaying organic matter, playing a role in decomposition within their ecosystems. Specific species within the "kleie" group may have particular ecological niches or interactions with other organisms. The exact classification and common names associated with these fungal "kleie" can vary depending on regional terminology and scientific classification systems.
