About Shimeji Mushrooms

Till not too long ago, I might solely discover shimeji mushrooms with flat gray caps on the retailers (left photograph under). They’re known as ‘hiratake shimeji’ in Japanese. However as of late, I should buy two different species of shimeji mushrooms at Asian grocery shops.

From left to proper: Hiratake shimeji, Buna shimeji, Shiro buna shimeji.

These mushrooms have fairly totally different caps from hiratake shimeji. The caps are spherical, and the stems are lengthy and straight. Considered one of them has a brown cap, and the opposite one has a white cap (centre and proper pictures above). They’re known as ‘buna shimeji’ (brown shimeji) and ‘shiro buna shimeji’ (white shimeji) respectively. Amongst these three sorts of shimeji mushrooms, I discover that buna shimeji has the very best flavour.

In Japan there are extra shimeji mushroom species. The shimeji that has the very best flavour is known as ‘hon shimeji’ (proper photograph under), which is fatter than buna shimeji. There’s a saying that “matsutake mushrooms have the very best aroma and shimeji mushrooms have the very best style.” Matsutake (left photograph under) is likely one of the costliest mushrooms on the planet, however in the case of the style, shimeji is best. Shimeji on this assertion refers to hon shimeji. I’ve not seen hon shimeji in Sydney, sadly.
