Description
A very large and diverse family of mushrooms, caulorhiza (Caulorhiza) includes some excellent edible species, but also some that are severely poisonous. As their common name suggests, all these mushrooms have a pale spore print. The large majority of these fungi are saprophytic, meaning they feed on dead and decomposing plant matter.
