Rhizopogon are hypogeous gasteroid mushrooms, meaning they grow down in the soil (like truffles) and have internal spores. They are essential mycorrhizal partners for pine trees and are very common. Frequently you will find them unearthed trail side after squirrels and other rodents have nibbled on them. They are technically edible but have minimal flavor and a foam-like texture. #mushroomasmr #floralfoamasmr #asmrfoam #natureasmr #rhizopogon #pogies #fascinatedbyfungi | Fascinated By Fungi
