Montagnea tenuis f. cul. medicinalis
medicinalis: Recorded only as a medicine. There is a record of people taking this mushroom as medicine -- a condition treated, or an action on the body -- and no record of it eaten as food, and no molecule of concern is on its record. Laboratory findings (antitumor, antioxidant, antimicrobial) are not records of use. The word names how people used the mushroom, not that it is safe: research the preparation and dose before taking it. A species that is also eaten is innocuus, and its medicinal use is in its note. Latin, medicinalis: of medicine.
