Abstract(s)

Fistulina hepatica mushroom, commonly known as beefsteak fungus, usually is a saprobic and sometimes a parasitic fungus that lives on the wood of hardwoods (especially oaks and chestnut), during Swnmer and Autumn. As the common name suggests, beefsteak fungus is remarkably similar in appearance to raw meat. In the past, it was often cooked and eaten as a substitute for meat. It is sold in several markets and can be eaten raw in salad or with a sauce of parsley and garlic.
