Oochawantake - Oochawantake

Japanese: オオチャワンタケ - おおちゃわんたけ
Oochawantake - Oochawantake

An edible mushroom of the Ascomycete family in the Chamaecyparis order. It is cup-shaped, but usually grows with several mushrooms pushing against each other, resulting in an irregularly distorted shape. It is 3-5 cm in diameter, whitish on the outside and light brown inside, where a sporangium develops and countless asci form. The asci are cylindrical and contain vertical rows of oval, colorless spores measuring 20-23 micrometers by 11 micrometers. It grows on rotten straw and in fields from spring to autumn. It is widely distributed, including in Japan and all over the world.
