Taxonomy and phylogeny
editThe lobster mushroom was first described by the "Father of North American Mycology" Lewis David de Schweinitz,[2] who named it Sphaeria lactifluorum in 1822.[3] It was moved to Hypomyces in 1860 by the French mycologist brothers Louis René and Charles Tulasne.[4][5] In 1898, Otto Kuntze reassigned it to the genus Hypolyssus as part of the sweeping reform of botanical nomenclature he proposed in his Revisio Generum Plantarum[6], but this new taxonomy was largely rejected.[7] Also in 1898, Charles Horton Peck described a species of Hypomyces that was purple rather than orange, but otherwise similar, naming it H. purpureus.[8] However, under moist conditions, mature specimens of H. lactifluorum take on the same purple color, and the two species were shown to be equivalent.[9]
The specific epithet lactifluorum is derived from the Latin words lac and fluorum[10], meaning "milk-flowing", a reference to the milky exudate of its Lactarius piperatus host.[11]
In the context of plant pathology, it has also been called the "red disease of mushrooms".[12]

Phylogenetics
editChemotaxonomy
editThe pigment responsible for the distinctive orange color of H. lactifluorum has been identified as the anthroquinone derivative[14] skyrin.[15] The lobster mushroom is part of a "well-supported" clade with other orange species of Hypomyces, such as H. aurantius and H. subiculosus, which is a sister group to those producing the red pigment aurofusarin.[16]
Description
editMicroscopic features
editSimilar species
editAlthough the host mushroom is often impossible to identify, Hypomyces lactifluorum itself is distinctive and easily recognizable,[17][18] although it may resemble chanterelles.[19] The closely related H. aurantius shares the bright orange color of the lobster mushroom[16], but parasitizes jelly fungi or polypores,[20] while species of Hypomyces with similar hosts, such as H. luteovirens, are not orange.[21]
Distribution, habitat, and ecology
editHypomyces lactifluorum is widely distributed in North America.[22] It has been recorded from every Canadian province,[23] the continental United States from the East Coast[24] to the Pacific Northwest[25] to the Southwest,[26] Mexico,[27] and Guatemala.[28] Although both Lactarius piperatus[29][30] and Russula brevipes[31] occur elsewhere, the lobster mushroom is not known outside North America.[32][22]
Uses
editCulinary use
editThe lobster mushroom is widely regarded as a choice edible,[33][34][35][36] with a "mild to peppery seafood flavor",[37] although some consider it mediocre[38] or bland.[22] The inability to reliably identify the host has led to concerns that it may parasitize a poisonous species,[39][40] and young specimens that have not completely altered their hosts may be unpleasant.[41] However, H. lactifluorum has been safely consumed[19][28] for "hundreds of years".[34][18][28]
