Racemose Pin Mould
A widely distributed pin mold that rots stored grains, nuts, coffee, fruits and other foods. It is a likely culprit when grain bought for spawn arrives already moldy, and a frequent pin mold of agar and grain spawn. It produces chlamydospores and grows poorly above about 32 C.
Not edible; food spoilage mold. Rarely and questionably reported in human infection because it grows poorly at body temperature.
Never eat a wild mushroom based on a web page — confirm with an expert.
