Termitomyces albuminosus

Macrolepiota albuminosa is a species of agaric fungus in the family Agaricaceae that is an obligate symbiont of termites. First described scientifically as Agaricus albuminosus by Miles Joseph Berkeley in 1847, it was transferred to the genus Macrolepiota by David Pegler in 1972. The fruit bodies (mushrooms) of the fungus are edible. It is found growing from termitaria in grassy fields, hills, and or forest borders in China and Vietnam.
