Termitomyces schimperi
''Termitomyces schimperi'', commonly referred by its Herero name ''Ejova'' (singular), is a mushroom associated with the termite species ''Macrotermes michaelseni'' of Namibia. In the plural the mushroom is referred to as ''Omajowa'' (with the alternative spelling of ''omajova'' or ''omayova'') by both the Herero and Ovambo peoples of Namibia. German Namibians refer to the mushroom as "Termitenpilz."
==Characteristics==
The sporocarps (the fruitbody of the fungus) are the "size of a man’s fist" on emergence. They rapidly expand to 15–28 cm and may reach 40 cm in diameter. The caps are white and the thick, soft scales may be stained yellowish to reddish-brown by the soil of the mound. The scales are white underneath their uppermost layer. The pseudorhiza (a cord-like structure resembling a plant root) tapers downwards towards its origin in the termite nest, and may reach a length of about 90 cm. The lower, narrower part of the pseudorhiza has a denser consistency than the above ground-part. The sporocarps appear in groups of 5–10 around the lower parts of termite mound, and grow to roughly 50 cm above soil level. Up to 50 sporocarps have been observed around a single mound. Omajowa usually appear after soaking rains of 12 mm or more during spring, but the main crop develops during January to March which is the main rainy season. The mushroom may form on the same termite mound for many years provided that part of the hyphae is left in the mound when the cap is harvested for eating. On maturation of the fungus, the partial veil is consumed by termites.〔
