Identification: Principal characteristics

* 56-68 µm long
* broad wedge-shaped
* sulcus more or less straight

This species may be confused with Phalacroma rapa (see images below) which is non-toxic.
 [details]

Toxicology: Neither blooms nor DSP outbreaks linked to the occurrence of Phalacroma mitra have ever been reported.

A single analysis of picked cells of Phalacroma mitra (as Dinophysis mitra) from Japan by HPLC-FD (Lee et al. 1989) reported 10 pg of DTX1 per cell.
