Trichoderma sp.? (maybe: Trichoderma viride)
Trichoderma viride is a fungus and a biofungicide. It is used for seed and soil treatment for suppression of various diseases caused by fungal pathogens. It is also a pathogen in its own right, causing green mould rot of onion
T. viride is a mould which produces spores asexually, by mitosis. It is the anamorph of Hypocrea rufa, its teleomorph, which is the sexual reproductive stage of the fungus and produces a typical fungal fruiting body.[1] The mycelium of T. viride can produce a variety of enzymes, including cellulases and chitinases which can degrade cellulose and chitin respectively. The mould can grow directly on wood, which is mostly composed of cellulose, and on fungi, the cell walls of which are mainly composed of chitin. It parasitizes the mycelia and fruiting bodies of other fungi, including cultivated mushrooms, and it has been called the "green mould disease of mushrooms". The affected mushrooms are distorted and unattractive in appearance and the crop is reduced
i just made another 2 arthropod-spotting & 2 more fungi at this spotting ----picture 6 (is a photoshopped, pic 1 a cropped -copy of pic 5) contains: 1# the main spot that white and green , fluffy to ...?.. surface. -- 2# black circle: a black patch-fungi,could be a hypoxylon species - 3#white circle: few white spots ( polydesmia pruinosa / [ http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/863... ] ) on the black fungi. 4#red circle: Velvet mite ( Trombidium holosericeum [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet_mite... ]). 5# green circle: i admit, thats really vague,but i canot zoom further. I think i see the shape of a fly, green

Actually i grew up learning Brithish English.My English was much better,grammatically when I passed out of high School.
Spell check always kicks my U's out!!
Emma, mold & mould are the same - we Brits like to add a superfluous "U" to lots of words; mould, colour, neighbour.....!

I sthis green mold on mushroom?
By the way ,is mould and mold the same?
id it.
Hi Alex. The fluffy colonies are definitely mold, since fluffiness is a distinguishing feature of molds, due to their possession of hyphae. I think the white and green colonies are the same, but they are at different stages. When molds start to produce spores the color of their colonies changes, because the spores which have a different color than the hyphae appear at the tip of the vertical hyphae. The white and green colonies might be Aspergillus, as it is so widespread. I would say the black spots are mold as well.
Yep, looks also like a mold to me...maybe Aspergillus genus?
i have already an idea, how to search for ths one !! but sure, it's a difficult quest, molds (if not extraordinary featured) are for me more confusing than slime molds ((they have at least different-fruitbodies) . ----btw: i have found more at/in this spotting than i first thought while posting, today i spotted at my own pictures something new
