... Under a microscope, D. spathularia exhibits typical characteristics of fungi in the Dacrymycetales order. This includes microscopic structures such as basidia (sporebearing cells), basidiospores (reproductive spores), and septate hyphae (filamentous structures) (Lopez and Garcia, 2002;Thachunglura et al., 2023). ...
“Edible and Medicinal Mushrooms of India, Vol I” is a series of
edited books, published by APRF Publishers under Ambika
Prasad Research Foundation, India. The aim of publication is to
document the traditional uses of wild mushrooms, which play an
important role in tribal culture as well as in forest ecosystem.
They provide food, medicinal and livelihood to the local
communities. The series brings together the different
researchers throughout the country for research and
development. In this book series, seven chapters are published
by twelve researchers from different states of India.
Here the authors have documented wild edible mushrooms of
Odisha, Rugda mushroom, food values of Termitomyces
microcarpus, Dacryopinax spathularia, and Russula rosea. This
book also documented economically important mushrooms of
India and Caterpillar fungus. This above documentation will be
helpful in designing and experimental work and value addition.

Dacryopinax spathularia, also known as the Orange Jelly Fungus or Witch's Butter, is a gelatinous fungus that can be found in temperate and subtropical regions. This fungus is safe to consume and offers a range of nutrients including protein, carbohydrates, dietary fibres, vitamins, and minerals, while being low in fat. D. spathularia is recognized for its potential medicinal properties, which include immune system modulation, antioxidant effects, antimicrobial activity, and potential anti-cancer properties. It has been traditionally used in medicines to promote overall health and address various health conditions. The presence of polysaccharides, glycoproteins, phenolic compounds, and triterpenoids in D. spathularia contribute to its nutritional value and potential health benefits. With sustainable harvesting, cultivation, D. spathularia holds significant economic potential in the functional foods, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceutical industries. The study proposes engaging in the cultivation and value addition of this mushroom, as well as, improving cultivation techniques to combat food insecurity. Future advancements in this area could help establish sustainable livelihoods in tribal-dominated regions.
