Scopulariopsis Molds, White Plaster Mold
1 species
A genus of Microascaceae (Microascales) of soil, dung and compost molds that produce chains of conidia from annellides, often in brush-like heads. Some species are opportunistic pathogens of people and animals (e.g. S. brevicaulis). In mushroom growing, the white plaster mold is filed here as S. coprophila (grower name "S. fimicola").
Colonies white, cream or buff to brown and powdery; conidiophores penicillate (brush-like), bearing annellides with dry chains of conidia.
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 Entries are compiled from cited sources and reviewed, but may be incomplete or out of date — check the sources, and never rely on this library alone to identify or eat a mushroom.
