Shiitake

Description

Shiitake mushrooms have umbrella-shaped caps, wide open veils, tan gills and curved stems.
Shiitake mushrooms are often described as having an earthy, smoky flavor and a rich meaty-yet-buttery texture when cooked. It’s no surprise that they are commonly found in an array of dishes that call for bold flavors, yet they are just as at home in weeknight pizza and pasta dishes.
