Cauliflower mushroom is, according to Michael Kuo, “unmistakable” – nothing else looks quite like it. This species (depending on the taxonomist) is native to Europe and North America. It is often labelled as a “choice edible” by mycophiles, but its flavour is not its only exceptional quality. A single clump of Sparassis crispa can exceed 20kg!
More photographs and text about this intriguing fungus can be seen on California Fungi (MykoWeb), Fungi of Poland and wood-decaying fungi of the northeast United States.
If I saw That in My garden I would have taken 200 PICS of IT. Well Done.
Lovely Photo. Just for your information, in China, this fungi is used for wellbeing diet purposes. It helps you to have bone and flexibilty. They are usually used in soup.
Fantastic picture. Could you please tell me where exactly shot this picture? I am a great lover of mushrooms and I have tasted this onen (one of its kind, i loved it).
