Description:
Shimeji is a widely used word for several types of delicious mushrooms grown and consumed in Japan. The true shemeji, which the Jananese refer to as hon-shimeji, is really Lyophyllum shimeji, which ironically is not a cultivated type. The cultivated species, shown here, is known as BROWN CLAMSHELL or BUNA-SHIMEJI (or bun-shimeji). BROWN CLAMSHELL is a hon-shimeji look-alike, and the Japanese have reduced their cultivation of oyster mushrooms in favor of this one because of its superior texture, which is firm and crunchy, and its flavor, which is sweetly nutty. The bulk pack (3lb) is organically produced in Northern California and flown down to us several times a week.
