Cauliflower Mushroom
Sparassis crispa
10 cc/mL liquid culture
Sparassis crispa belongs to the family Sparassidaceae and the order Polyporales, placing it outside the Agaricales group that contains many familiar gilled mushrooms. The genus Sparassis is particularly interesting taxonomically because several closely related forms have historically been grouped together under names that are now treated separately. The name crispa refers to the curled or frilled character traditionally associated with this taxon, while older literature may contain records under related Sparassis names. This makes S. crispa a useful reference for studying fungal classification, nomenclature, and the diversity of polypore relatives.
