This research discovered and documented new species of fungi that live on dead wood in protected forest areas of Thailand. These fungi play important roles in decomposing dead plant material and recycling nutrients in forest ecosystems. The study highlights the importance of protected areas for discovering new species and understanding biodiversity. Impacts on everyday life: – Helps understand how dead wood decomposes in forests – Contributes to knowledge of biodiversity conservation – Advances understanding of fungal roles in ecosystem health – Supports protection of natural areas – May lead to discovery of useful compounds or applications
