The common european white mushroom would be the most obvios choice but I've always though that a more fitting choice would be morels(members.fortunecity.com) They are tasty enough that someone might very well poach them, rare enough that it would make sense for someone to keep guards dogs to protect their crop, and most tellingly, one of the tradtional ways of eating them is fried with bacon just as Maggot served them to the hobbits.
