Volvariella volvacea (also known as straw mushroom or paddy straw mushroom) is a species of edible mushroom cultivated throughout East and Southeast Asia and used extensively in Asian cuisines. In Chinese, they are called cǎogū (草菇, lit. "straw mushroom").
They are often available fresh in Asia, but are more frequently found in canned or dried form outside their nations of cultivation.
