Gudgud alambe/Thunder mushrooms are a variety of mushroom which is available only during moonsoon season in southern part of Karnataka. Unlike other mushroom,these mushrooms do not have a stem and they are round in shape.The skin is very thick and they need to be peeled individually.It is a tedious task and so the whole family helps to peel them. But the flavour is so delectable when they are cooked which makes all the trouble worthwhile .
