Termitomyces are highly prized edible fungi that grow in a strict symbiotic relationship with fungus-farming termites in Asia and Africa. Prized for their savory flavor, firm texture, and high nutritional value, they cannot be artificially cultivated and must be foraged in the wild during rainy seasons. They are considered a "superfood". Their protein content is exceptionally high—sometimes higher than chicken—and they contain all nine essential amino acids.
