Pink Molds
1 species
A genus of Hypocreales (Myrotheciomycetaceae) of powdery, white-to-pink molds with two-celled conidia in zigzag clusters. T. roseum is a widespread soil and compost fungus, a secondary rot of fruit and vegetables, and a pink mold and parasite of cultivated mushrooms; it produces trichothecene mycotoxins.
Colonies flat, granular to powdery, white turning pink to peach. Conidia two-celled, pear-shaped, held in characteristic zigzag chains at the tips of simple conidiophores.
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 Entries are compiled from cited sources and reviewed, but may be incomplete or out of date — check the sources, and never rely on this library alone to identify or eat a mushroom.
