Stropharia rugosoannulata, commonly known as the wine cap stropharia, "garden giant", burgundy mushroom or king stropharia (Japanese: saketsubatake), is an agaric of the family Strophariaceae. The king stropharia can grow to 20 cm high with a reddish-brown convex to flattening cap up to 30 cm across, the size leading to another colloquial name Godzilla mushroom. The gills are initially pale, then grey, and finally dark purple-brown in colour. The firm flesh is white, as is the tall stem which bears a wrinkled ring. This is the origin of the specific epithet which means "wrinkled-ringed". Stropharia rugosoannulata edible valuable mushroom, very large (often weighing up to 1kg), to taste resembles a white fungus, although it has a specific odor. The pulp of the fungus contains many B vitamins and many minerals. It contains more nicotinic acid than in cucumbers, cabbage and tomatoes. This acid has a beneficial effect on the digestive organs and nervous system.
