Phialomyces is a soil-inhabiting genus characterized by distinct conidial morphology. While less common than Aspergillus, it is a valid member of the family. It is morphologically distinct due to its large, dark, ornamented conidia produced in chains.
Conidiophores are simple or sparingly branched, bearing whorls of phialides. The most diagnostic feature is the conidia: they are large, dark brown, rough-walled (verrucose), and typically biapiculate (lemon-shaped) due to connective tissue remnants, forming persistent chains.
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 Entries are compiled from cited sources and reviewed, but may be incomplete or out of date — check the sources, and never rely on this library alone to identify or eat a mushroom.
