Most Popular Edible Mushrooms
1. Fan-shaped jelly-fungus
Just as its Latin and the common English names suggest, the fan-shaped jelly-fungus (Dacryopinax spathularia) is a fan-shaped or spatula-shaped jelly-like mushroom. It commonly grows in wood cracks and it sometimes even appears in the cracks of the processed wood and lumber. Despite the word "jelly" in its name, the fan-shaped jelly-fungus is not considered edible.
2. Bridal veil stinkhorn
Bridal veil stinkhorn (Phallus indusiatus) can be found rising up from the ground in tropical forests around the world. A distinctive netted fringe “skirt” descends from the cap along the length of the stalk. A type of “stinkhorn,” the fruitbodies of this species produce scents that vary between sickly-sweet to just plain unpleasant. The odor is meant to attract insects that usually lay their eggs in carrion.
3. Pink oyster mushroom
Pink oyster mushroom is a striking mushroom that grows in the shape of an oyster shell. It has a brilliant pink color that fades as the mushroom ages. Pink oyster mushroom is primarily found in warmer climates growing on tropical hardwood trees.
4. White coral
The white coral (Ramariopsis kunzei), with its upright, branching tendrils which do not have caps, bears a striking resemblance to underwater corals. It is an odd sight to encounter in the forest. The species is a generalist, being found in woodlands - usually on decaying litter - around the world.
