A list of putative edible or medicinal ectomycorrhizal mushrooms

Authors:

Abstract

This list of putative edible and medicinal ectomycorrhizal mushrooms stems from one assembled for the book “Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms of the World” (Hall et al. 2003) and an expanded one presented at the Fifth International Conference on Mushroom Biology and Mushroom Products, Shanghai in April 2005 (Hall et al. 2005). This 2016 revision has corrected some errors caused by the misinterpretation of a translation. This has resulted in the removal of several species which should never have been included. Our apologies for this. Highly prized species in Europe are in red while Japanese star ratings are from Imazeki et al. (1988). Additional species in pink are from Boa (2004) along with a few notes from him (medicinal species are marked with an “m” - see section 4). Recent research by Yin et al. (2014, 2016) has shown that Tricholoma terreum is toxic and produces rhabdomyolysis. Tricholoma equestre had been shown by Bedry et al. (2001) to do likewise. We have made no judgments as to the authenticity of taxa or authorities and instead have simply followed copy from the many texts we have sourced information from such as: Castellano (1995), Chandra (1989), Edible fungi research institute (1991), Habitat (2006), Imazeki et al. (1988), New York botanical garden (2006), Phillips (1981, 1991), Provincia di Cuneo (2006), Silverside (2003), Volk (2006), Wang et al. (2004), Lyon (pers. comm.) and other references listed by Hall et al. (2003, 2005). Where no authorities have been provided none have been sought. Also we have not checked for possible spelling mistakes that might have been made by others. Wherever possible English or French common names have been listed. Other common names can be found in: Berkeley digital library project (2005), Chandra (1989), Dutch mushroom names (2005), Freedman (2005), Kuo (2005), Pilz galerie (2005), Porcher (2005a, b), Société Mycologique de France (2005) and Wood & Stephens (2005). The probable mycorrhizal status of each species was assessed in association with Dr Tony Lyon (ex Sheffield University), various texts including Handsen & Knudsen (1992, 1997), Spooner & Roberts (2005), USDA Forest Service (2002) and with the aid of the World Wide Web (e.g. DEEMY – Ludwig-Maximilians 2006, The mushroom expert 2006). The mycorrhizal status of a mushroom would need to be carefully checked before any research was carried out on its cultivation. We have marked species “??” where we believe a species has a questionable mycorrhizal status or where we have not been able to find a reliable reference. If you have any comments on this document could you please send them to: Dr Ian R. Hall, Truffles & Mushrooms (Consulting) Ltd, P.O. Box 268, Dunedin, NEW ZEALAND, truffle1@ihug.co.nz

Warning
N.B. The edibility of some species of mushrooms listed in this document is
questionable. Where we are aware of this we have made a note in the
Comments column in Appendix 1. However, the edibility of any of the
species should be treated with caution particularly by the novice. Below we
repeat the warning that is provided in the Timber Press book Edible and
Poisonous Mushrooms of the World” (Hall et al. 2003).
Some poisonous and edible mushrooms are easily confused. So, before
eating any mushroom, be absolutely sure of its identity and edibility. For
mushrooms that are not illustrated in this book or that are known to vary in
appearance from the illustrations included in the book, it may be necessary to
consult other texts listed in the Bibliography, or a mushroom specialist. But
please note that the edibility of many mushrooms is still unknown and in any
event when trying a mushroom for the first time only eat a small amount.
If
you have any doubts whatsoever as to the identity and edibility of a
mushroom, DO NOT EAT IT.
Whenever you eat wild mushrooms or a new
cultivated mushroom always put some uncooked ones aside in the
refrigerator in case you have made a mistake or have an allergic reaction to
the mushroom.
If you experience any illness after eating a mushroom,
consult a doctor immediately.
Reasonable efforts have been made to publish reliable data and information,
but the authors and publisher cannot assume responsibility for the validity of
all materials or for the consequences of their use. The publishers and the
authors can take no responsibility for the misidentification of mushrooms by
the users of this book nor any illness that might result from their consumption.

Introduction
This list of putative edible and medicinal ectomycorrhizal mushrooms stems
from one assembled for the book “Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms of the
World” (Hall et al. 2003) and an expanded one presented at the Fifth
International Conference on Mushroom Biology and Mushroom Products,
Shanghai in April 2005 (Hall et al. 2005). This 2016 revision has corrected
some errors caused by the misinterpretation of a translation. This has
resulted in the removal of several species which should never have been
included. Our apologies for this.
Highly prized species in Europe are in red while Japanese star ratings are
from Imazeki et al. (1988). Additional species in pink are from Boa (2004)
along with a few notes from him (medicinal species are marked with an “m” -
see section 4).
Recent research by Yin et al. (2014, 2016) has shown that
Tricholoma
terreum
is toxic and produces rhabdomyolysis.
Tricholoma equestre
had
been shown by Bedry et al. (2001) to do likewise.
We have made no judgments as to the authenticity of taxa or authorities and
instead have simply followed copy from the many texts we have sourced
information from such as: Castellano (1995), Chandra (1989), Edible fungi
research institute (1991), Habitat (2006), Imazeki et al. (1988), New York
botanical garden (2006), Phillips (1981, 1991), Provincia di Cuneo (2006),
Silverside (2003), Volk (2006), Wang et al. (2004), Lyon (pers. comm.) and
other references listed by Hall et al. (2003, 2005). Where no authorities have
been provided none have been sought. Also we have not checked for
possible spelling mistakes that might have been made by others.
Wherever possible English or French common names have been listed.
Other common names can be found in: Berkeley digital library project (2005),
Chandra (1989), Dutch mushroom names (2005), Freedman (2005), Kuo
(2005), Pilz galerie (2005), Porcher (2005a, b), Société Mycologique de
France (2005) and Wood & Stephens (2005).
The probable mycorrhizal status of each species was assessed in association
with Dr Tony Lyon (ex Sheffield University), various texts including Handsen
& Knudsen (1992, 1997), Spooner & Roberts (2005), USDA Forest Service
(2002) and with the aid of the World Wide Web (e.g. DEEMY Ludwig-
Maximilians 2006, The mushroom expert 2006).
The mycorrhizal status of a mushroom would need to be carefully checked
before any research was carried out on its cultivation. We have marked
species “??” where we believe a species has a questionable mycorrhizal
status or where we have not been able to find a reliable reference.

Fungi are a diverse group, and they are essential for health, the economy, and food. Interest in these organisms has increased because of the importance and effect of their chemical components viz., phenolic compounds, which are considered an alternative source of antioxidants. Antioxidants are compounds that prevent cell damage and can help prevent or counteract certain diseases (cardiovascular, neurodegen-erative, cancer, etc.) because they can improve cell function (changes in enzyme activity, enzyme patterns, membrane fluidity, and responses to stimuli), among others. To date, no adverse side effects have been reported. The difference in production is due to several factors, such as the growth environment, nutrition, cell age, the part from where the phenolic compounds are obtained (pileus, stipe, or mycelium), the extraction method, etc. This article aims to provide an overview of wild edible mushrooms, to promote the study of their antioxidant capacity, and to better understand the nutraceutical potential of edible mushrooms consumed in different parts of the world.
... The genus Entoloma belongs to the family Entolomataceae and contains more than 1,000 species worldwide . Some species are widely consumed, including E. microcarpum, E. madidum, E. crassipes, E. argyropus, E. aprile, and E. abortivum (Hall et al., 2016). However, some toxic species are frequently confused with edible species because of their morphological similarities. ...

The frequency of mushroom poisoning has increased worldwide. In Thailand, reports on mycetism between 2013 and 2021 included 18 cases of Entoloma poisoning. Incorrect identification of toxic Entoloma species occurs during wild mushroom foraging, and their consumption results in gastrointestinal irritation. Morphological distinction of mushroom leftovers is difficult; however, we aimed to characterize 40 clinical samples to the genus level using macroscopic and microscopic analyses. Furthermore, species identification of the poisonous Entoloma was performed based on multi-locus phylogenetic analyses of the nuclear internal transcribed spacer region, nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA, and mitochondrial small subunit ribosomal DNA. Phylogenetic trees reconstructed using maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods demonstrated that forty samples of mushroom remnants formed eight robust clades with six identified species. The findings confirmed the taxonomic identity of E. griseolazulinum as a new record of species causing gastrointestinal poisoning. The use of molecular annotation provided a foundation for the development of accurate methods for identification of toxic mushrooms.
... Edible ectomycorrhizal mushrooms (EEMMs) are represented by about 1000 species within the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi group [1]. EEMMs are spread across many Ascomycota and Basidiomycota genera and can form different epigeous or hypogeous reproductive structures [2]. ...

Tuber borchii is an edible ectomycorrhizal mushroom of considerable economic value. Its cultivation has become popular in recent years, but there are few studies on the factors affecting its productivity. In this work, the ascoma production and the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) community of a T. borchii plantation, established in an intensive farming area where this truffle is not naturally present, were studied. Tuber borchii production drastically declined from 2016 to 2021, and ascomata of other Tuber species (T. maculatum and T. rufum) were found from 2017. Molecular characterization of ectomycorrhizae carried out in 2016 identified 21 ECM fungal species, of which T. maculatum (22%) and Tomentella coerulea (19%) were the most abundant. Tuber borchii ectomycorrizae (16%) were almost entirely confined to the fruiting points. The diversity and structure of the ECM community on Pinus pinea were significantly different from those observed on hardwood trees. The obtained results suggest that T. maculatum (a native of the study site) tends to replace T. borchii through a mechanism of competitive exclusion. Although T. borchii cultivation is possible in suboptimal environments, particular care should be taken to limit competition with ECM fungi more suitable for local conditions.
... The mushrooms in this category consist of the fruit bodies of fungi that form obligate symbiotic associations with higher plants (Hall et al. 2011). The fruit bodies include above-ground structures such as chanterelles, puffballs, coral mushrooms, and subterranean structures such as truffles. ...

Background Edible fungi including wild mushrooms have been largely neglected and underutilized in Africa. Not only is the number of edible species unknown, but the critical role they play in human food and nutrition and the ecosystem services they provide have remained poorly understood and undervalued. Methods We reviewed the literature with the objective of providing a synthesis of knowledge on (1) the diversity of wild edible fungi of Africa with emphasis on mushrooms; (2) the ecosystem services provided by wild edible fungi; (3) anthropogenic threats to their diversity and utilization; and (4) opportunities for their conservation and cultivation. Results We identified a total of 480 species of wild edible mushrooms in 126 genera belonging to 60 fungal families across Africa. A total of, 249 species were mycorrhizal, 28 species were termitophilic and 203 species were saprophytic or parasitic. Wild edible mushrooms provide food that is high in digestible proteins, antioxidants and fibre but low in fats. They are also sources of income for rural populations. Almost all species play a role in nutrient recycling and hence the productivity of forests and agroecosystems. However, deforestation and land degradation are threatening the mushroom diversity in some regions of Africa. Conclusion The African continent is endowed with a tremendous diversity of neglected and underutilized edible wild mushrooms providing nutritious food for humans and playing a key role in the structure and functioning of native forests and woodlands. Deforestation and the loss of habitat are the greatest threats to edible wild species in Africa. The loss of indigenous knowledge can also potentially limit dietary choices and market opportunities. Therefore, we recommend national forestry research and development programs and international frameworks such as Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD +) to invest in the conservation, cultivation and valorisation of wild edible mushrooms to achieve sustainable forest management and the welfare of local communities.

... Some progress has been made in the cultivation of ectomycorrhizal fungi, though this is only manageable for a few species and cannot be conducted independent of a host tree. Well-known examples include Tuber melanosporum (Hall et al., 2007), and T. indicum (Hu et al., 2010). Young trees must first be inoculated with the truffle fungus. ...

Macrofungi have been utilized as a food source for thousands of years and contribute significantly to human health and nutrition. The increasing recognition of macrofungi as a valuable food source has resulted in an exponential increase in global production, trade and consumption of macrofungi. Thus, in this article, we present up-to-date information on the types and use of macrofungi as food, current trade and production volumes and how macrofungi contribute to human health and nutrition. Furthermore, we include a discussion on the latest information regarding which species of macrofungi are safe to eat.

Wild mushrooms are a vital source of income and nutrition for many poor communities and of value to recreational foragers. Literature relating to the edibility of mushroom species continues to expand, driven by an increasing demand for wild mushrooms, a wider interest in foraging, and the study of traditional foods. Although numerous case reports have been published on edible mushrooms, doubt and confusion persist regarding which species are safe and suitable to consume. Case reports often differ, and the evidence supporting the stated properties of mushrooms can be incomplete or ambiguous. The need for greater clarity on edible species is further underlined by increases in mushroom‐related poisonings. We propose a system for categorizing mushroom species and assigning a final edibility status. Using this system, we reviewed 2,786 mushroom species from 99 countries, accessing 9,783 case reports, from over 1,100 sources. We identified 2,189 edible species, of which 2,006 can be consumed safely, and a further 183 species which required some form of pretreatment prior to safe consumption or were associated with allergic reactions by some. We identified 471 species of uncertain edibility because of missing or incomplete evidence of consumption, and 76 unconfirmed species because of unresolved, differing opinions on edibility and toxicity. This is the most comprehensive list of edible mushrooms available to date, demonstrating the huge number of mushrooms species consumed. Our review highlights the need for further information on uncertain and clash species, and the need to present evidence in a clear, unambiguous, and consistent manner.

This review succinctly discusses data on morphology, systematics, ecology and biochemical properties of all the Entoloma species from Yunnan Province, China. We also propose directions for future research on Entoloma. Altogether, 8 species of Entoloma have been reported in the present study. Entoloma sinuatum and E.mengsongense showed the most contrasting variation in colour and size of the basidiomes while E. mengsongense and E. yunnanense were found to display wide variations in spore morphology. Most species are saprotrophic except E. caeruleoflavum and E. sinuatum which form mycorrhizal associations. Knowledge on biochemical and other chemical attributes of the genus are minimal although such details would help for better utilization of the genus.

In Colombia, ectomycorrhizal mushrooms have been collected and documented in several departments and are commonly reported from the native Quercus humboldtii forests. This native species is constrained to the Andean region, occurs within a range of 750–3450 m asl, and establishes mutual symbiotic associations with some fungal genera. In this chapter, we compiled the current state of the art of the ectomycorrhizal mushrooms (ECM) associated with this tropical native oak. We searched reports on the distribution of ectomycorrhizal species associated with Q. humboldtii, and included references where the mycorrhizal status of some fungal genera has been assessed. The family Boletaceae has the highest number of reports, followed by Amanitaceae and Russulaceae. Antioquia has the highest number of reported species, followed by Boyacá and Cundinamarca. Fewer reports are available for the departments of Tolima, Huila, and Quindio, which shows the importance of encouraging studies regarding the taxonomy and recognition of macrofungal diversity, particularly in regions where there is a lack of research in this field. We included 16 local and 2 national records of ECM fungi to the country. Additionally, by searching reports including information on the edibility of wild fungal species, 35 ectomycorrhizal mushrooms are reported as edible to the country.
