About This Recipe

Some mushrooms continue to surprise us both by their names and their appearance. How about taking a look at some fascinating mushroom varieties?

* Lion's Mane Mushroom
It got its name because its appearance resembles a lion's mane. You'll need to travel to America to see this mushroom variety in person.

* Puffball Mushroom
This mushroom resembles a giant soccer ball and is quite rare to come across. 

* Blue Milk Mushroom
It is indeed blue in color, but it mainly got its name from the liquid that flows when its stem is broken. It can be toxic if not consumed properly.

* Jelly Mushroom
It appears during rainy weather and has a salty taste.

* Wolf Mushroom
Resembling a sea urchin, this mushroom carries its spores through its gills.

* Fly Mushroom
It falls under the category of magic mushrooms and is known for its hallucinogenic effects.

* Morel Mushroom
Whatever you do, never eat this mushroom raw — you'll be itching non-stop afterward.

* Bleeding Tooth Mushroom
It got its name because its appearance resembles bleeding gums. The red flesh-like look is due to fluids secreted by the mushroom. 

* Amethyst Mushroom
Known for cleaning harmful organisms in the soil and accumulating them within itself.

* Agaric Mushroom
Yet another hallucinogenic mushroom. Those who eat it perceive both themselves and the world around them as larger than they are.

* Devil's Cigar
Among the rarest mushrooms in the world. It is known for the strange sounds it makes as it opens up in a star shape.

* Brain Mushroom
A particularly dangerous mushroom variety. It can be fatal if eaten raw.

* Blue Mushroom
We encounter this striking bright-blue mushroom on banknotes in New Zealand.

* Glowing Mushroom
Found in the forests of Japan and Brazil, this mushroom appears remarkably luminous and bright at midnight as it scatters its spores around.

* Caesar's Mushroom
Known in our country as the bridal mushroom, this is said to have been Julius Caesar's favorite mushroom.

With their names and surprising — perhaps entirely unknown to us — roles, mushrooms are a world of their own. But let's get back to what we know best: recipes.
