PRODUCT INFO Shiitake mushrooms range in colors from amber to paper bag-brown. Each mushroom has an umbrella shaped cap with a curled rim. Their caps have a cream-colored supple-firm interior. Unlike mature shiitake mushrooms, Shiitake mushrooms are entirely edible as their thin stalks are still tender when young. When cooked, shiitakes release a garlic-pine aroma and have a rich, earthy, umami flavor. These shiitakes are farm raised and harvested on protein-filled sterile sawdust logs that have been inoculated with shiitake spores. The individual logs can produce over 4 pounds of mushrooms during their lifetime. They are also 100% recyclable; once the logs are exhausted they can be used for composting or as a natural fertilizer. USES Shiitake mushrooms, like mature Shiitake, are widely used in Asian cuisine. They are not limited to Asian recipes, though, and as a cultivated variety, they may be substituted in recipes calling for "wild mushrooms". Pair shiitake with Asian mustard greens, eggplant, rice, noodles, garlic, soy and chile. May be sauteed, roasted or skewered and grilled. Season Shiitake mushrooms are harvested on logs year-round. Their growth, and hence availability, is dependent upon how well the log feeds them.

White Button Mushroom White button mushrooms are small with a white, edible stem that is dense, thick, and smooth. When raw, they have a mild, crisp texture, and once cooked, they develop an earthy flavor with a tender, chewy consistency. 1. Portobello Mushrooms Portobello mushrooms are large, with dark brown, fleshy gills and a small ring beneath the cap. The stems are fibrous, white, and dense. When cooked, they have a chewy, meaty texture and a smoky, earthy flavor. 2 Shiitake Mushrooms Shiitake mushrooms are small to medium-sized with thin stems and wide, umbrella-shaped caps ranging in color from light to dark brown. They are known for their curled rim, and their firm, chewy, and spongy cream-colored flesh. 3. Oyster Mushrooms Oyster mushrooms feature a funnel-shaped cap that can be white to light brown or dark brown, with whitish-yellow gills. The stem is off-center, and the cap grows in overlapping clusters, giving them a shelf-like appearance. The flesh is white and tender. 4. Enoki Mushrooms Enoki mushrooms grow in long clusters with string-like stems and small white caps. They offer a mild flavor with a crunchy texture, making them ideal for salads, soups, meat dishes, and garnishing. The spongy base of the mushrooms should be removed before use. 5. Shimeji Mushrooms Shimeji mushrooms are best enjoyed cooked, as they develop a pleasant, firm, slightly crunchy texture and a mildly nutty flavor. If eaten raw, they have a bitter taste that disappears once cooked. 6. Porcini Mushrooms Porcini mushrooms are known for their nutty, earthy flavor and meaty texture. They have a deeper, richer flavor compared to other mushrooms. Dried porcini mushrooms add depth to broths and sauces, and they become slightly chewy when rehydrated. 7. Paddy Straw Mushrooms Also known as Volvariella volvacea, Paddy Straw mushrooms are widely cultivated in East and Southeast Asia. Popular in Asian cuisines, they are the third most consumed mushroom globally. While available fresh in Asia, they are typically found in canned or dried forms in other regions.
