Hi, Naliniji, Thanks for all the efforts that you have put forth.
1. It was collected from Shillong, Meghalaya. 2. If that is absolutely necessary, I would cut and attach CS image. 3.Yes, this particular specimen is edible and a popular diet amongst Shillong and Khasi-Jaintia Hills people. 4. No it doesn't grow on tree. It grows on soil. 5.The upper part is velvety. I will make arrangements for the CS and send it across asap.
