From what I have read, the orange variety of lobster mushrooms are only paratisitizing edible species whereas the white variety can be toxic species. Anyone have more info?



Nonono, there is only one species of "Lobster Mushroom", there are not multiple varieties of the species H. lactifluorum.

However, there are a lot of different species of Hypomyces, which are often white, and maybe poisonous, but I would not know as they are so unappealing that no one would think to eat them.

For instance, there is H. hyalinus which parasitizes Amanita species and is white, and there is H. chrysospermus which parasitizes species of Boletus and is yellow, but both of those would be awful to eat, if not poisonous.

I've never seen such a "normal" looking lobster shroom if that is one.  Usually the ones i find are all misshapen and mutant like. 





Like I said I never collected lobsters before, but I thought the same thing with all that I have seen in the books and such. Most I see are deformed looking. That's why I wanted to really make sure of it.

Entoloma abortivum, too. It feeds on Armillaria gallica. In the following picture, the white ones are the ones that have been ravaged by the Entoloma.

Armillaria are parasites too.

Ask Mr. Mushrooms, he'll tell you.  :wink:

Yeah but they are tree pathogens, right? As opposed to fungus pathogens?
