Cauliflower fungus...

Is it of any use ??

It's edible and has medicinal use, also used in insect breeding, highly praised in japanese cuisine, gotta wash it well and cook it thoroughly, i've never tried it myself

Glad to help it's one of those subject i can get lost in, sadly i don't cultivate fungi anymore.

I was just reading it is one of those fungi known for it's anti tumour properties like the reishi ganoderma (linghzi) one of the most highly praised fungi in the world for medicinal use
