Oudemansiella mucida, the Porcelain Mushroom is
specific to beech wood. It appears in autumn on dead trunks and on
fallen branches, and occasionally it also grows on living trees.

Provided that the skin is peeled from the caps,
these mushrooms are edible. Only larger caps are worth collecting,
however, because the flesh is quite thin.
The Porcelain Mushroom, Oudemansiella mucida, is sometimes
referred to as the Poached Egg fungus - a reference to the white of the
egg rather than the yolk, of course! |
