Wrinkled peach
Rhodotus palmatus · 网盖红褶伞
Rare膨瑚菌科❓ Edibility Unknown
Edibility is unknown and should be treated as poisonous.
The same species can be described differently across regions and stages of maturity, and countless look-alike species cannot be told apart by eye. Never use the information on this page to judge whether a real mushroom is safe to eat.
How to Tell
- Cap pink to orange-pink, covered in a net-like wrinkled surface
- Gills pink; stem off-center, sometimes oozing small red droplets
- Grows on dead elm trunks or fallen logs
ID notes are compiled by AI from public sources, not reviewed by a mycologist, for learning only — never a basis for foraging.

Fun Fact
Its cap is covered in a pinkish-orange, wrinkled gelatinous skin, somewhere between a brain and a peach; as elm trees decline from disease, it's now on the Red List in over a dozen European countries.
