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.
Species groups
- Drosophila testacea species group
- Drosophila quinaria species group
- Drosophila bizonata species group
- Some members of the Drosophila obscura species group
Sequenced genomes or transcriptomes
