Most Popular Edible Mushrooms
1. False saffron milkcap
A less-tasty cousin of the Saffron milkcap (Lactarius deliciosus), the false saffron milkcap is closely associated with spruce. When it appears in forests, it usually forms a large carpet. Species within the Lactarius genus are hard to differentiate from other, more poisonous mushrooms, and should not be foraged for food by the inexperienced.
2. Peppery bolete
Peppery bolete(Chalciporus piperatus) has coloration ranging from browns to oranges, from pigments that lend themselves to the creation of natural dyes. Not only does peppery bolete prefer sandy soils and coniferous/beech trees, but it is also known to maintain parasitic relationships with certain other species of mushroom.
3. Brown birch-bolete
The brown birch-bolete is common around the northern hemisphere. It grows beneath birch trees and is usually easy to identify by its brown cap and scaly stem, the latter of which is referenced in its scientific name Leccinum scabrum. Occasionally, however, it can be found sporting a white cap.
4. Meadow waxcap
The meadow waxcap is a medium-sized, salmon-colored species that can be found in temperate habitats around the world. The species has broad, thick gills and a relatively smooth (and not particularly waxy) cap.
5. King bolete
Extremely popular in many cuisines, this edible wild mushroom grows around the world near the roots of forest trees. In some regions, king bolete mushrooms are collected in great enough volumes that their sale can support entire families during the harvest season. King boletes are reported to be high in fiber, vitamins B and C, calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and several antioxidants.
6. Sheep polypore
As its name suggests, sheep polypore is reminiscent of a clump of wool, with its white to tan color and cracks. Sheep polypore is found in forests as it forms connections with pine trees and other conifers. Its growing season extends from the late summer to the late fall or mid-winter in some areas.
7. Gypsy mushroom
Cortinarius caperatus, commonly referred to as the gypsy mushroom, is a sought-after species that grows across the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The fruitbodies sport ochre-colored caps and pale gills and stems - their cap color fades over time though, which may lead to their being confused with other, more toxic species.
8. Slimy spike
A stocky, almost imposing mushroom, the slimy spike (Gomphidius glutinosus) has a round bulbous cap and a very thick stalk. This species is one of the more unusual members of the bolete order (Boletales) because it has gills, rather than a spongey pore surface. The "slimy" in this species' common name is well-earned - individuals are almost always coated in a shiny layer of slime.
9. Conifer tuft
As its common name implies, the conifer tuft grows on dead conifers, either singly or in groups. It can be found around the northern hemisphere in the autumn season. Take care to distinguish this species from the highly toxic Sulphur Tuft. Inspect the gills closely; those of the conifer tuft are pale grey, and never green.
10. Snowy waxcap
The snowy waxcap is so-named because its stalk, cap, and gills are often uniformly white; however, tinges of tan or peach may occur with age, especially on the center of the cap. The species can be found in temperate grasslands and woodlands across the northern hemisphere, and in some parts of Australia.
