Phlebopus marginatus

Salmon Gum Mushroom

Inedible / unclear

One of the largest fungi in the world: an Australian specimen was recorded at 29 kilograms. Accounts of its edibility contradict each other, so it stays in the maybe pile.

Inedible / unclear in this game means: Not eaten: too tough, too bitter, worthless, or of genuinely disputed/unknown status.

Do not use this page to identify a mushroom you intend to eat. It describes one species in general terms, lists only the best-documented lookalikes, and cannot account for regional variation, your own sensitivity or how the mushroom is prepared. Ask a qualified local expert.
