Dictyophora

Last updated 2026-11-12 — Dictyophora is a rare and precious edible fungus unique to Yunnan Province. It is also known as bamboo fungus, bamboo mushroom, or veil mushroom. Its cap is deep green, the stem is snow white, and it has a pink, egg-shaped base. At the top of the stem, there is a circle of seemingly transparent, pure white net-like "skirts" that flow gracefully downward, making it exceptionally beautiful. Hence, it is also called the “flower of fungi” or the “mushroom queen.” When dried, Dictyophora turns milky white. It is also a world-renowned precious edible fungus. The taste of Dictyophora is sweet, crisp, tender, and fragrant. It can be cooked with chicken to make a delicious soup, or paired with sliced meat, cellophane noodles, and other ingredients to create a Three-Delicacy Dictyophora Soup. It can be served alone or combined with a variety of meat and vegetable dishes. In the hot summer months, it also helps prevent food spoilage and preserve freshness. Dictyophora is not only a fine delicacy on high-end dining tables but also offers high nutritional value.
