Angel’s Wings Mushroom

Pleurocybella porrigens (species), “Angel Wing”

On the Web

On Wikipedia

Pleurocybella porrigens is a species of fungus in the family Marasmiaceae. The species is widespread in temperate forests of the Northern Hemisphere. P. porrigens, known as the angel wing, is a white-rot wood-decay fungus on conifer wood, particularly hemlock (genus Tsuga). The flesh is thin and fragile compared to the oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ssp.). Pleurocybella porrigens was once regarded as edible, in the early 21st century, this was brought into question by deadly poisonings associated with its consumption. Synonyms for Pleurocybella porrigens include Pleurotus porrigens, Phyllotus porrigens, Dendrosarcus porrigens, Pleurotellus porrigens, and Nothopanus porrigens.
