'''Tubercularia lateritia''' is a species of [[fungus]] in the family [[Nectriaceae]]. It is a [[saprophytic]] fungus, meaning it feeds on dead or decaying organic matter. The species is known for its distinctive orange color, which gives it its common name, the "Orange Peel Fungus".

== Taxonomy ==

The ''Tubercularia lateritia'' was first described in the scientific literature by the British mycologist [[Miles Joseph Berkeley]] in 1851. The species is classified within the genus ''[[Tubercularia]]'', which is part of the family ''[[Nectriaceae]]''.

== Description ==

The ''Tubercularia lateritia'' is characterized by its bright orange color and its small, round fruiting bodies. The fruiting bodies, or [[ascocarps]], are typically less than 1 cm in diameter. The fungus produces [[spores]] that are released into the air and can be carried by wind or water to new locations.

== Habitat and distribution ==

''Tubercularia lateritia'' is a widespread species, found in many parts of the world. It is commonly found on dead or decaying wood, particularly on hardwood species. The fungus is most commonly found in temperate regions, but can also be found in tropical areas.

== Ecology ==

As a saprophytic fungus, ''Tubercularia lateritia'' plays an important role in the decomposition of organic matter in the ecosystems where it is found. By breaking down dead wood, it helps to recycle nutrients back into the soil.

== Human uses ==

While not typically used for culinary purposes, some cultures have used ''Tubercularia lateritia'' for medicinal purposes. However, more research is needed to fully understand the potential medicinal properties of this fungus.
