Dark Green Mold
One of the most common Cladosporium species and a frequent airborne contaminant: olive-green to olive-brown, velvety colonies with chains of dry spores. It is a saprobe on dead plant material, a secondary invader of crops, a spoiler of stored products and a common mold of damp buildings, and its spores are a major airborne allergen. Bensch et al. (2012) treat it as a species complex.
Not edible. Spores are a major allergen; no major mycotoxins are known.
Never eat a wild mushroom based on a web page — confirm with an expert.
Mycology is an evolving science: names, classifications and safety information change as research advances. Entries are compiled from cited sources and reviewed, but may be incomplete or out of date — check the sources, and never rely on this library alone to identify or eat a mushroom.
