angel wing mushroom
A white, fan-shaped mushroom (Pleurocybella porrigens) that grows on conifer wood. Note: it was once considered edible but is now known to be potentially toxic, especially to people with kidney problems.
Angel wing mushrooms often grow on cedar stumps.
Kanji spelling is rare and mainly used in taxonomic contexts.
The name literally means 'cedar flat mushroom', from 杉 (sugi, 'cedar') + 平 (hira, 'flat') + 茸 (take, 'mushroom'), referring to its shape and typical habitat.
