Pleurotus tuber-regium, the king tuber mushroom, is an edible gilled fungus native to the tropics, including Africa, Asia, and Australasia. [1] It has been shown to be a distinct species incapable of cross-breeding and phylogenetically removed from other species of Pleurotus .
Pleurotus eryngii (also known as king trumpet mushroom, French horn mushroom, eryngi, king oyster mushroom, king brown mushroom, boletus of the steppes [Note 1], trumpet royale, aliʻi oyster) is an edible mushroom native to Mediterranean regions of Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, but also grown in many parts of Asia.
The inedible fungus Daldinia concentrica is known by several common names, including King Alfred's cake, cramp balls, and coal fungus. It is a common, widespread saprotrophic sac fungus, living on dead and decaying wood. The fruit of this fungus is hemi-spherical, with a hard, friable, shiny black fruiting body 2 to 7 centimeters wide.
The king stropharia can grow to 20 centimetres (8 inches) high with a reddish-brown convex to flattening cap up to 30 cm (12 in) across, [4] the size leading to another colloquial name godzilla mushroom. [5] The gills are initially pale, then grey, and finally dark purple-brown in colour.
This is the basis for the common recommendation to slice in half all puffball-like mushrooms picked when mushroom hunting. Mushroom hunters recommend that people know how to recognize both the death cap and the destroying angel in all of their forms before collecting any white gilled mushroom for consumption.

The rehydrated mushroom can also be stuffed and cooked. [53] Phallus indusiatus has been cultivated on a commercial scale in China since 1979. [49] In the Fujian Province of China—known for a thriving mushroom industry that cultivates 45 species of edible fungi—P. indusiatus is produced in the counties of Fuan, Jianou, and Ningde. [54]
Cerioporus squamosus, synonym Polyporus squamosus, is a basidiomycete bracket fungus, with common names including dryad's saddle and pheasant's back mushroom. [2] It has a widespread distribution, being found in North America, Eurasia, and Australia, where it causes a white rot in the heartwood of living and dead hardwood trees.
Craterellus tubaeformis (formerly Cantharellus tubaeformis) is an edible fungus, also known as the winter chanterelle, [2] yellowfoot, winter mushroom, or funnel chanterelle. It was reclassified from Cantharellus , which has been supported by molecular phylogenetics .
