Agaricicolous Species of Hypomyces

Rogerson CT and Samuels GJ. 1994. Agaricicolous Species of Hypomyces. Mycologia. 86(6):839-866

Taxonomic study of fungi that feed on other fungi, including a specimen from GRSM. Thirteen species of Hypomyces occur on gilled fungi. Most are found on members ofthe Russulaceae; other hosts include Amanita spp., Crepidotus spp., Leptonia strigosissima, and Pholiota sp. Anamorphs have been proven only for the four species, H. armeniacus (Cladobotryum verticillatum), H. odoratus (C. mycophilum), H. succineus (Verticillium succineum comb. nov.), and H. tremellicola (Verticillium sp.). Anamorphs have been putatively linked to H. lateritius (C. tulasnei), H. lithuanicus (C. arnoldii), andH. petchii (Verticillium sp.).
