Cobweb Mould (Cladobotryum protrusum)
A cobweb disease pathogen with one of the widest distributions in its genus, causing cobweb on shaggy mane (Coprinus comatus), white button mushroom, oyster mushroom and cultivated morels. It was the first Cladobotryum to have its genome sequenced, a 39.09 Mb assembly from a strain isolated from Coprinus comatus on a farm in Wuhan, China.
Not edible. Infected mushrooms rot and are unsaleable.
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 Entries are compiled from cited sources and reviewed, but may be incomplete or out of date — check the sources, and never rely on this library alone to identify or eat a mushroom.
