Aphroditeola is an agaric fungal monotypic genus that produces pink cantharelloid fruit bodies on coniferous forest floors. The lamellae are forked and typically the fruit bodies have a fragrant odor described as candy-like, cinnamon-like or pink bubble gum-like. It contains the one species Aphroditeola olida, which is commonly known as the pink bubblegum mushroom. [1]

In the last century it was classified in Hygrophoropsis , a genus in the Boletales. However, Hygrophoropsis has dextrinoid basidiospores, [2] [3] while Aphroditeola lacks these. Phylogenetically Aphroditeola is classified in the Agaricales near the Hygrophoraceae. [4] [5] Little is known about its biology except that the type species can be grown in culture from basidiospores and it produces pinkish to reddish-orange mycelium. [6] [7] In other literature and web sites, the type species is called by synonymous names Hygrophoropsis morganii or Hygrophoropsis olida or incorrectly labelled Hygrophoropsis rufescens, a misapplied name.[ citation needed ]

Etymology

The name Aphroditeola is an allusion to Aphrodite Greek goddess because of the combination of pretty pink coloration and perfume-like odor. [8] The specific epithet (olida) is from the Latin olidus, meaning "smelling" or "rank".[ citation needed ]

In some literature it is known as Hygrophoropsis morganii based on the earlier classification and the incorrect presumption that the type species was named Cantharellus morganii before the name Cantharellus olidus. [7]
