About
Lyophyllum shimeji, commonly known as the hon-shimeji is an edible species of fungus in the family Lyophyllaceae that grows in pine forests, often near man-made roads. It was originally only known from Japan, Korea and China, but presently has a known distribution that includes Russia, Estonia, Scandinavia, Czechia and Spain, as well as USA and Canada. It is particularly widespread in lichen pine forests in Sweden, Finland and Norway, after being confirmed from these countries as late as 2011.
