Pholiota microspora

Pholiota microspora

The Japanese name “nameko” comes from the mushroom’s surface being covered in a natural mucilage, giving it its signature slippery texture.

Valued for this unique smoothness and pleasant bite, it’s a beloved ingredient in Japanese cuisine—often found in miso soup or served atop soba noodles.

The distinctive mucilage is formed from dietary fibers secreted by the cells of Pholiota microspora, which create the smooth coating when exposed to moisture.
