At maturity, the reddish orange H. lactifluorum thoroughly covers its host, rendering it unidentifiable. [1] [2] As it ages, its color can go from the entire Sporocarp (fungus) surface and Lamella (mycology) to the margin of the mushroom. [3] The species produces a white spore print. [2]
Hypomyces is a genus of parasitic ascomycete fungi found in Europe, North America, Australia, and parts of China. The genus contains 53 species. [ 1 ] Better known species include the lobster mushroom ( Hypomyces lactifluorum ) and the bolete eater ( Hypomyces chrysospermus ).
Fruitbodies of Lactifluus or Russula species otherwise hot-tasting and unpalatable are regarded as choice edibles in North America when infected by the "lobster mushroom" Hypomyces lactifluorum. [46] Heterotrophic plants, including orchids or monotropoids , also parasitise ectomycorrhizal Russulaceae and their plant partners – see above ...

Lactifluus piperatus forms part of an unusual and highly regarded dish in North America, being one of several species parasitized by the lobster mushroom Hypomyces lactifluorum. Once colonized by the parasite, an orange-red crust forms over the surface of the mushroom, and the taste becomes delicious as the parasite infiltrates its host's ...
This template presents a comparison table for major staple foods. It is intended to be transcluded into other pages. If it is transcluded into an article for one of the staple foods listed in the table e.g., the Wheat article, then the column for that food will be automatically highlighted.
Traditional identification of hyphomycetes was primarily based on microscopic morphology including: conidial morphology, especially septation, shape, size, colour and cell wall texture, the arrangement of conidia as they are borne on the conidiogenous cells (e.g. if they are solitary, in chains, or produced in slime), the type of conidiogenous cell (e.g. non-specialized or hypha-like, phialide ...
The family was proposed by Giuseppe De Notaris in 1844. [1] According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), the family has 22 genera and 454 species. [ 2 ] In 2020, it was re-analysed and determined to have only 17 genera and about 658 species.
