Occasional鸡油菌科🍽 Reported Edible (Wild)
Reference sources describe this as an edible wild fungus. This guide provides no basis whatsoever for foraging or consumption.
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

ID notes are compiled by AI from public sources, not reviewed by a mycologist, for learning only — never a basis for foraging.
