Slime mold parasite (for some species)
1 species
Nectriopsis is a genus of fungicolous and lichenicolous fungi. They are often recognized by their habit of growing parasitically on other fungi, slime molds (myxomycetes), or lichens. The genus is morphologically diverse but unified by its ecology and specific perithecial traits. The perithecia are often minute and immersed in a subiculum (a web of mycelium).
Ascomata are generally small (<200 µm), globose to subglobose, and often immersed in a white or colored mycelial subiculum. Asci are unitunicate, and ascospores are typically bicellular and hyaline. Anamorphs are often Acremonium-like or Verticillium-like.
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 Entries are compiled from cited sources and reviewed, but may be incomplete or out of date — check the sources, and never rely on this library alone to identify or eat a mushroom.
