Fungi on Fungi: Mushrooms That Grow on Other Mushrooms

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

Some of the common familiar Fungi on Fungi include the Edible Lobster Mushroom (Hypomyces lactifluorum) that grows on Russula or Lactarius species and turns them orange and The Amanita Mold (Hypomyces hyalinus) that occurs on Amanitas. But there are many other interesting and unusual species.

At a foray several years back, I dug inside the garbage can and pulled out some rotting fungi. Upon closer examination I found 8 species that were growing on the decaying fungi that did not get recorded. It’s sort of fun to see what can be found with a closer look.     

BONUS!  A downloadable link to a 258 page PDF will be given at the end of the show that covers over 379 species of them.
