Marasmius is a genus of fungi. These fungi are typically characterized by their small size, often having delicate and thin fruiting bodies. Many species of Marasmius are saprophytic, meaning they decompose dead organic matter. They are commonly found in forested areas, on decaying leaves, and in other similar environments. Some species within this genus are also known for their ability to recover and revive after drying out, a trait known as "resupination."
