Mushrooms that are parasitic consume the living tissues of other organisms, sometimes killing them in the process. Parasitism is fairly common among mushrooms, and is most famously demonstrated in Boletus parasiticus, which attacks the fungus Scleroderma citrinum. Other parasites include species of Hypomyces, which parasitize mushrooms, and the Honey Mushroom, which attacks trees and is a constant concern in forest management.
