Hypomyces Lateritius
''Hypomyces lateritius'', the ochre gillgobbler, is a parasitic ascomycete fungus that grows on certain species of ''Lactarius'' mushrooms, improving their flavor and densifying the flesh. Hosts include '' L. camphoratus'', '' L. chelidonium, L. controversus,'' '' L. deliciosus, Lactarius indigo, L. rufus, L. salmonicolor, L. sanguifluus, L. semisanguifluus, L. tabidus, L. trivialis,'' and ''L. vinosus''''.'' It is a microscopic fungus causing the formation of a macroscopic whitish subiculum over the hymenium of its host species, preventing gill formation. Presence of ''H. lateritius'' also often deforms the cap and stipe. Parasitization by ''H. lateritius'' does not prevent latex from forming when the flesh is cut. Distribution ''Hypomyces lateritius'' can be found wherever ''Lactarius'' species can be found, in North America from Alaska to Mexico and in Europe from the Iberian peninsula to the Ukraine. In Asia in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Western Siberia. It has als ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
