CONT

Omphalotus olivascens has long been noted for its color giving characteristics. In addition it is known that some species like Hypomyces lactifluorum give more intense color the older and more rotten the specimen. Chemical changes obviously occur as an organism ages and senescence progresses. In some fungi these changes must result in the production of dye chemicals. This represents an interesting area of potential research for the natural dye chemist.

Subject field(s)

Universal entry(ies)
DEF

Bumpy, bright orange to orange-red mold growing on various white species of Lactarius and Russula mushrooms.

CONT

The parasitic Lobster Mushroom transforms its ordinarily unpalatable Lactarius and Russula hosts into excellent edibles. If the host cannot be confirmed, avoid this; it could potentially parasitize a poisonous species. Spores: spindle-shaped, strongly warted, transparent; equally 2-celled.

OBS

Mold: orange, orange-red, or reddish-purple, with fine bumps; produces orange to reddish, flashlike vessels (perithecia).

Entrée(s) universelle(s)
DEF

Champignon étrange de la classe des ascomycètes qui parasite certains champignons supérieurs comme la russule à pied court ou le lactaire velouté. Le champignon parasité change alors totalement d'aspect, devient difforme, ses lamelles disparaissent pour être remplacées par de larges rides de consistance dure et rugueuse. Finalement, tout le champignon devient rouge, teinté d'orangé, à chair granuleuse, rouge en surface mais blanche en dessous. Odeur et saveur douces.
