Family of Mushrooms

The mushroom's odor is not distinctive, a mild to earthy somewhat radish-like smell or a definite aroma of radishes; its taste, mild at first, interesting, usually at least a slightly radish-like flavor, may become slightly bitter

The famous German mycologist Paul Kummerin in 1871 gave the deer mushroom, Pluteus cervinus (deer shield, or fawn mushroom), its present scientific name. This wood-rotting mushroom is widespread and very common in Britain and Ireland, is also found throughout Europe, and also grows in North America.
