"Brick caps are edible mushrooms that improve in taste as the year progresses. They can usually be found in the autumn months through winter, though they become less bitter generally after the first frost.

"Beyond edibility, brick caps are quite medicinal. A compound known as clavaric acid has been isolated from this species (3). Clavaric acid has been shown to act as an effective FPTase inhibitor, which in non-medical speak translates to 'a compound that may impede cancer proliferation.' Research suggests that these inhibitors, of which clavaric acid is one, may be effective particularly against colorectal, pancreatic, and lung cancers (4)."
