The Mushroom Plant (Rungia klossii), also known as the African Cucumber or the Mushroom Leaf, is a tropical herbaceous plant valued for its unique, mushroom-like flavour. Native to Papua New Guinea, it produces dark green, glossy leaves with a subtle taste reminiscent of mushrooms, making them a popular addition to salads, soups, and stews. The plant thrives in warm, humid conditions and is appreciated for its ornamental, lush foliage.
