Aphroditeola is an agaric fungal 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, cinnamony or pink bubble gum-like. In the last century it was classified in Hygrophoropsis, a genus in the Boletales. However, Hygrophoropsis has dextrinoid basidiospores[1][2] while Aphroditeola lacks these. Phylogenetically Aphroditeola is classified in the Agaricales. Little is known about its biology except that it can be grown in culture and it produces reddish-orange mycelium.[3]

Etymology

The name Aphroditeola is an allusion to Aphrodite Greek goddess because of the combination of pretty pink coloration and perfume-like odor. In some literature it is known as Hygrophoropsis morganii based on the earlier classification and the incorrect presumption that the type species was first named Cantharellus morganii.[3]
