Matsutake
Tricholoma matsutake
A species of Tricholoma. Also known as Pine mushroom.
This wild mushroom, a key ingredient in many traditional Japanese meals, faces endangerment in its native region due to the ongoing destruction of the pine forests on the islands, which serve as its host. However, it also thrives in North America, where it's harvested commercially and sold at exceptionally high prices. So far, efforts to cultivate this specific mushroom have proven unsuccessful.
