Hypsizygus tessellatus

Shimeji

Hypsizygus tessellatus is a common misspelling of H. tessulatus, the beech mushroom or shimeji. GBIF matches the spelling only loosely, to an old name now placed in Ossicaulis lignatilis, and has no records under it. Grow it exactly as H. tessulatus: supplemented hardwood sawdust, a long maturation and a cold shock.
