onion stem
Noun: A type of edible wild mushroom (Lepiota cepaestipes), characterized by its white color, tendency to grow in clusters, and a base that is shaped like a club or bulb, reminiscent of an onion stem.
This term is used specifically in mycology (the study of fungi) and foraging to identify this particular species of agaric mushroom. * Foragers were excited to find a large flush of the onion stem in the damp woods. * The onion stem is considered a good edible mushroom, but it must be distinguished from similar-looking, poisonous species.
The name "onion stem" is primarily a common name used by mushroom hunters. In formal or scientific contexts, the Latin binomial Lepiota cepaestipes is preferred to avoid confusion. * While 'onion stem' is a descriptive common name, mycologists will refer to it by its scientific name, Lepiota cepaestipes.
