Description
A very large and diverse family of mushrooms, fayodia lichen (Fayodia) 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.
