About Slippery jack mushroom

Slippery jack is a wild edible mushroom with a brown cap that can feel sticky or slimy when moist. Its underside has small pores rather than gills, and the flesh is pale and soft, with a mild, earthy mushroom flavour.

It is gathered fresh and may be cooked, dried or preserved. The cap skin is often removed before cooking, and texture varies with maturity and handling. The common name should not be used alone to identify a wild mushroom for consumption.
