Studies on the nutritional and health benefits of this particular fungus are rare, however mushrooms of the same family are know to have many health benefits including reducing blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Similar species contain generous amounts of proteins and nutrients including pectin, calcium, vitamin D, B1, and B2.
Please note, this species is sometimes is said to be inedible, but that probably only refers to the fact that this particular species is not commonly eaten. I personally have consumed plenty of this mushroom. Cooked in stews, dried and powdered.
It is always recommended to consult a physician and proceed with caution.

Mad for Mushrooms is dedicated to the proliferation and learning of wild foods and natural ecosystems. Predominantly foraged, I focus on offering unusual, and wildly delicious foodstuffs for regional chefs and restaurants. Collaboration is essential to the work, outside of foraging and sharing knowledge, I am interested in product development, and alternative applications of biomimetics. As a vendor with Foraged Market, I hope to reach a wider audience, exciting more minds and mouths with nutritionally dense wild food products. The majority of items will be sourced in the forests and hillsides of the Ohio River Valley. However, when indicated, certain items have been successfully wild-grown in my organic, vegan, urban garden to offer a greater variety.
Please visit the shop to see what we hope to discover, and feel free to reach out with any questions.
