Physalacriaceae

Physalacriaceae belongs to the order Agaricales.

The Physalacriaceae is a family of fungi that includes mushrooms of various sizes, many of which grow on wood, forest litter, or in moist environments. These fungi are found across a wide range of habitats—from Arctic regions to tropical forests, and even in freshwater and marine-influenced areas. Most species have umbrella-shaped caps with central stems, and their spores are typically white and smooth. Some members are known for their tough stems and ability to revive after drying out.

Physalacriaceae includes both edible and inedible species. A notable commercial example is the enoki mushroom (Flammulina filiformis, cultivated for its long, slender stems and mild flavor. Enoki is widely used in East Asian cuisine, especially in soups and hot pots, and is grown in cool, dark conditions to maintain its pale color and delicate texture.
