Lemsang

The Elves also call the Lemsang (pi. "Limseng"; Kh. "Atastor"), or "Great-meal," mushroom "Way-throne," for it grows to heights of two feet and sports a crown one to three feet in diameter. Although most of its surface is hard, its top is covered with a soft purple "fur" which is renowned for its food value; apound of Lemsang can feed a man for a week. Given its nourishing nature, tales associate it with the enchanted Lembas or "Way-bread."
