FUNGIFRIDAY: Psathyrella Candolleana

While I was out in the field a few days ago, I shot some Psathyrella candolleana mushrooms. They are a member of the Psathyrellaceae family of fungi that grow on the roots of banana tree trunks and come in a variety of colors. They grow in several colors, including white and brown.

Psathyrella candolleana mushrooms are edible mushrooms. Although they are small mushrooms and look tempting to eat, I have never tried them. For those of you who are curious about it, you can try it, but I don't recommend it.

While it is edible and may have a good flavor, it is not recommended due to its thin flesh, alleged poor culinary value and consistency, as well as difficulty in identification. _Wikipedia

On this lovely Friday, I'm sharing some photos of Psathyrella candolleana mushrooms as my contribution to #FungiFriday hosted by @ewkaw.
