Pick a gourmet mushroom, then tap a numbered pin (or hover it) to learn what that part is and why it matters when you grow or cook it. Real photos, every part linked to the language in the grow guides.
tip: tap the numbered pins on the photo, or the chips above
Two parts to know that these mushrooms DON'T have: a ring (a skirt of tissue on the stem) and a volva (a cup at the very base). Pioppino is the rare gourmet exception with a real ring. A volva plus white gills is a classic deadly Amanita tell — if you ever find a wild mushroom with a cup at its base, put it down. Positively identify anything wild before it goes near a pan.
