I was always under the impression that the matsutake mushroom was called a ponderosa or pine mushroom in north america. This mushroom should regrow in the same spot as it sprouts from the mycillium which continues to spread under the ground. I believe this is the same mushroom although some mushroom books suggest they are different. I have picked pines and they appear to be the same mushroom, taste, colour, smell and rarity. This is a big industry in washington state, british columbia canada etc.
- They are very similar. I think they are considered separate species though. See the wiki article on "pine mushroom" for some info.24.83.178.11 06:44, 3 May 2007 (UTC)BeeCier
