Meet the Ffyngau Friends
Leo, Ricky, Shaun and Tony live underground. They come up to say hello.
Ffyngau Friend
Leo Lion’s Mane
Lion’s mane mushroom looks just like a hedgehog, and it’s the only fungus that grows icicle shaped spines instead of gills!
Ffyngau Friend
Ricky Reishi
Reishi has been written about in China for more than 2,000 years. Ancient texts gave it some fairly grand names.
Ffyngau Friend
Shaun Shiitake
Shiitake means oak mushroom in Japanese. They can only grow on dead trees, they turn something finished into something useful.
Ffyngau Friend
Tony Turkey Tail
Turkey tail mushroom grows in overlapping fans that look exactly like a turkey’s tail. You’ll find it on fallen logs all over Wales.
Tony is a Ffyngau Friend. Turkey tail is not a Ffyngau product.
