The White Jade Mushroom and the Chicken Leg Mushroom are not the same. The morphology of the two is just different.
Morphology of White Jade Mushroom
Substrate clusters ranging from 15 to 50 per cluster, rarely scattered. The cap is hemispherical when young, dark brown, then gradually spreading, the color becomes lighter, yellowish brown; the middle color is dark, tea brown; the cap surface is smooth, there are 2-3 circles of mottled; the edge of the cap is flat or slightly recurved, slightly undulate; the cap is 1.5~2.0 cm in diameter; the flesh of the fungus is white, tough and brittle, dense.
The hyphae are white to light yellow, curved, sometimes slightly straight, dense, unequal, free. Mycelium mesophyll, cylindrical, 3-12 cm long, the lower part is obviously expanded when young, white to gray-white, O.5-3.5 cm thick, thin on the top and thick on the bottom, the upper and lower thicknesses are almost the same when fully grown, most of them are slightly curved with yellowish-brown stripes, medium-solid, and the inner part is fluffy when old. Tanspores colorless, smooth, spherical, spore print white. Conidia are white, appearing at the end of aerial mycelium when culture conditions are not suitable.
Morphology of Chicken Leg Mushroom
The entity is medium-large, grouped, with a cylindrical cap in the bud stage and a bell-shaped cap in the later stage. It is 7-20 centimeters high, and the cap is nearly smooth when young, and later has appressed scales or cracks on the surface.
The cap, flesh, and gill of the young and tender fruiting body are white, and the stipe is as thick as 1 to 2.5 centimeters, with a fungus ring on it. Mycorrhizal cover from cylindrical to bell-shaped stretch when the fungal folds began to change color, from light brown to black, and then softened and blackened the substrate, completely losing food value. Therefore, the cultivation of harvesting must be timely, should be in the mushroom cover to maintain the cylindrical and edge of the tightly wrapped stipe, no naked eye visible ring of bacteria in the column of the period of timely harvesting.
