The Crepidotaceae are a family of basidiomycete fungi which has relatively recently undergone a revision based on phylogenetic analyses. The following characteristics are typical of this family: saprotrophic on woody or herbaceous matter; gymnocarpic (having the hymenium open and attached to the surface of the thallus); spore prints that are pale yellow to brown; simple cuticle (although some may have pileocystidia); cheilocystidia always present; spores entire, smooth or ornamented but never angular or reticulate Credit: BSpragg Stock Photo

Huge mural Djosa by Francis Sling in Willemstad. The artist writes about the work on another wall next to the large painting: Yo-Sa is half Papiamento and half Spanish. Djosa is the question of what God is. Is she a man or is he a woman. Does he exist or is it a myth. It's a long discussion that often ends with the question: “Does it matter what I think? Djosa is poetic, and if you don't speak the language, it may be impossible to understand it. Willemstad, Curaçao, Curacao, Kòrsou Stock Photo

Crepidotus is a genus of fungi in the family Crepidotaceae. Species of Crepidotus all have small, convex to fan-shaped sessile caps and grow on wood or plant debris. Members of this genus are small, convex to fan-shaped, and sessile. Species have cheilocystidia. Spore prints are yellow-brown to brown. All species of Crepidotus are known to be secondary decomposers of plant matter; most are saprobic on wood. Little is known about the edibility of various species; the usually small and insubstantial specimens discourage mycophagy.??Credit: BSpragg Stock Photo

The Nidulariaceae ('nidulus' - small nest) are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. Commonly known as the bird's nest fungi, their fruiting bodies resemble tiny egg-filled birds' nests. As they are saprobic, feeding on decomposing organic matter. Often seen growing on decaying wood and in soils enriched with wood chips or bark mulch; widely distributed in most ecological regions. The five genera within the family, namely, Crucibulum, Cyathus, Mycocalia, Nidula, and Nidularia, are distinguished from each other by differences in morphology and peridiole structure.
