Top 20 Edible Mushrooms Popular in Pozoblanco

As its common name suggests, the elm oyster(Hypsizygus ulmarius) is most commonly found fruiting on elm trees. Its scientific name references its tendency to position itself in the higher points of any individual tree. The fruit bodies may grow alone or in small clusters of two or three, and rarely more.

Rosy wood mushroom has an anise odor and yellowish reaction to bruising. Usually found on woodland floors, it can be mistaken for the larger Agaricus Silvicola or the slender Agaricus Diminutivus. Rosy wood mushroom has been reported as potentially toxic and should not be consumed.

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.

Cap 2 to 7 cm, convex-rounded often with inflexed margins at first, then flattens when aging, covered in purple-brown to pinkish dense fibriles that fade in colours towards light grayish-pink from the centre towards margins. The gills are free from attachment to the stipe, dense, starting pale gray-brownish when young, then turning dark purple-brown with age, with a lighter crenulated edge. The stipe is cylindrical, 2–5 cm long and 0.4–0.8 cm broad, bulbous or clavated at the base, withish, slightly darkening toward the base in yellow-brownish tints. The ring, remnant of the veil present in young fructifications, is whitish, descendent, thin and fragile. The odor and taste resembles almonds. The spore print is dark brownish. The spores are 4.5–6.0 x 3.5–4.0 µm on average, nonamyloid, and elliptical. The flesh turns slightly in yellow when cut or bruised, sometime with orange tints in stipe. Macrochemical reactions: flesh turns orange and pileus turns yellow in contact with 10% KOH.

The candy cap can be identified by its aromatic odor and reddish-brown coloring. When damaged, the mushroom emits a milky substance. It is frequently found in deciduous forests throughout Europe and eastern North America. The mushroom is edible, though it is mostly used for flavoring, like one would use saffron or vanilla.

Common club coral fungus is a rare, club-like mushroom rich in antioxidants and fatty acids. However, American varieties may not have substantial meat. It can be found growing in beech woodlands throughout Europe and the Americas from summer to fall. Generally nondescript, it emits a slightly pleasant scent.

Scaly lentinus(Neolentinus lepideus) may be found alone or in groups along dead or decaying pieces of timber. Due to its ability to colonize even chemically treated wood, including railroad tracks, it has been given the nickname "train wrecker." Due to inconsistent reports of safety, consumption is discouraged.

Frayed parasol can typically be found on roadside verges. The name parasol comes from this mushroom's umbrella-like cap. The excoriata of its Latin name Macrolepiota excoriata draws attention to the mushroom's scales which draw away from the cap margin. Frayed parasol is threatened with extinction.
