Mushroom-feeding Drosophila

Species group of the subgenus Drosophila

Drosophila innubila, a mycophagous Drosophila, on a mushroom

Mushroom-feeding Drosophila (mycophagous Drosophila) are a subset of Drosophila flies that have highly specific mushroom-breeding ecologies. Often these flies can tolerate toxic compounds from Amanita mushrooms.[1][2]

## Species groups

[edit]

* Drosophila testacea species group
