Comprehensive list of wild mushroom species (pictures)

Wild fungi generally grow in coniferous forests and mixed forest areas such as Yunnan pine, alpine pine, and wind pine. They grow singly or in groups. Due to different geographical environments and differences in vegetation growing in various places, the fungi can also grow in different regions. There are various types of wild fungi. Common types include gallinobacteria, white onion fungi, porcini mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, and ganba fungi.

1. Gallisporum:

Alphaspora is a famous wild fungus species in Yunnan. It is called the king of bacteria. Its meat is plump and strong, and its texture is thin and white, similar to chicken. It contains calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, protein, carbohydrates, calories, ash, riboflavin, niacin and other nutrients, and contains up to 16 kinds of amino acids.

In the rainy season, they mostly grow on white ant nests in the mountains. When they are first unearthed, the caps are conical and dark brown or yellowish in color. The folds of the fungi are white. When mature, they are yellowish and have single flowers. The large ones can reach several taels, and they can also grow in patches, but artificial cultivation has not been successfully achieved so far.

2. White onion fungus:

The cap of white onion fungus is flat and hemispherical, smooth, non-sticky, light-colored, and the flesh is white, with a sauce aroma, and can be used as medicine. It grows on oak, oak and other broad-leaved forests and mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests, solitary or in groups. Thigh mushrooms are rich in nutrients and are exported to Europe, America, Japan and other countries.

3. Boletus:

Boletus is the collective name for fungi such as Boletaceae and Pinecone Boletaceae. Except for a few species, they are poisonous or bitter and cannot be eaten. In addition to food, most varieties are edible, mainly white, yellow, black, and red bolete mushrooms, which grow in pine-oak mixed forests between 900 meters and 2,200 meters above sea level or in forest edge areas that have been recently logged. The growing season is from the end of May to mid-October each year.

4. Matsutake fungus:

Born in pine forests or mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests in autumn, growing in groups or scattered, sometimes forming mushroom circles. Matsutake naturally grows in natural hybrid forests of pine and oak trees without any pollution at an altitude of 2,000 to 4,000 meters and above. It has a biological relationship with pine roots and needs the shade of oak and other broad-leaved forests.

5. Green head fungus:

Green head fungus grows in pine trees or coniferous forests, broad-leaved forests or mixed woodlands. Summer and autumn are the growth periods every year, and the yield is large after the rain. . They all appear in pairs. As long as one is found in the deep forest, the other will definitely be found within a range of no more than one meter. The fruiting body is medium to slightly large. The cap is initially spherical and has a protective color similar to grass, making it difficult to spot.

Note: People allergic to fungi and food should use with caution; those with slippery nature and constipation should eat with caution; poisonous wild mushrooms should not be eaten; straw mushrooms are cold in nature and should not be eaten by those with spleen and stomach deficiency. In addition, neither fresh nor dried products should be soaked for too long.
