FungiFriday: Wrinkled Parachute (Marasmiellus inoderma)

I immediately thought of crispy mushroom chips when I found this fungus in the woods. Fried with sliced lime leaves will make it even more delicious! The next task is to find the best recipe.

Marasmiellus inoderma, also called the wrinkled parachute, is a fungus belonging to the family Marasmiaceae.

The mushroom's physique is somewhat similar to that of Marasmiellus ramealis. What differentiates it is that M. inoderma has a wider cap, like a Belinjo chip, and has wide, folded gills.

This fungus is a plant pathogen that causes root rot in plants such as areca nut, coconut, and other hardwood plants.

I don't have the slightest knowledge of whether this is safe to consume, only my feeling says that it is edible.
