Description

After 1 year after the poisonous Ferula plant rots in the soil, edible white fungus occurs at the root of the plant.[1] It grows in mountains at high altitudes such as 1000 and 2500 meters in the spring in the Eastern Anatolia Region. Unlike other fungi, this type of fungus reflects the sun's rays and facilitates remote detection of its location. This mushroom is rich in protein and mineral elements and is weak in fat content.[2]
