Description
Marasmiaceae is a large family of mushrooms that are all drought-tolerant, having the ability to shrivel up in dry weather and then re-grow. The best-known member of this family is the shiitake mushroom, an edible mushroom that is used extensively in Chinese cuisine for its strong flavor. Note, however, that most members of this large and diverse fungus family are not edible.
