Cystoderma paradoxum A.H.Sm. & Singer (1948)[2] | |
Dissoderma paradoxum, which has the recommended English name of powdercap strangler in the UK,[4] is a species of fungus in the family Squamanitaceae. It is a parasitic fungus that grows on the fruit bodies of another fungus, Cystoderma amianthinum.[5] It takes over the host and replaces the cap and gills with its own but retains the original stipe, creating in effect a hybrid between the two.[6] The species was first described as Cystoderma paradoxum by American mycologists Alexander H. Smith and Rolf Singer in 1948, based on specimens collected in Mount Hood National Forest in Oregon.[2] Cornelis Bas transferred the species to the genus Squamanita in 1965.[3] Recent molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has however shown that the species does not belong in Squamanita sensu stricto but in the related genus Dissoderma.[5] The species occurs in both North America and Europe.[5]
