The round shape is named after the eye candy, and it is classified as a rare mushroom.

This is the newly discovered danggu egg mushroom. Compared to a 20-person rice cooker, the size is not pushed at all. The touch is as soft as touching flour.

The population of danggu egg mushrooms was small, so research was not actively conducted.

Recently, however, danggu egg mushrooms have been found in Korea.

Experts are guessing the impact of global warming.

It is explained that the number of discoveries of this mushroom has increased as a high-temperature and humid environment is formed, which is good for the mushroom to grow.
