They possess a robust, woody structure that allows them to grow on the sides of trees and logs, maximizing their exposure to nutrients and sunlight. Their flat, shelf-like shape helps them efficiently absorb moisture and nutrients from the surrounding substrate. Additionally, many bracket fungi produce enzymes that enable them to break down tough organic materials, such as cellulose and lignin, facilitating their role in decomposition and nutrient cycling in ecosystems.
