  1. shiitake mushroom

    The shiitake mushroom is an edible fungus native to East Asia, primarily Japan, China, and Korea. It is scientifically known as Lentinula edodes and is mostly recognized for its medicinal properties and culinary uses. Shiitake mushrooms have a distinctive and robust umami flavor, often described as 'meaty', and are used in a variety of dishes. They have brown, slightly convex caps that range from around 2 to 4 inches in diameter, and contain a high amount of vitamins and minerals. The name "shiitake" is derived from the Japanese words "shii", a type of evergreen tree on which the mushroom grows, and "take", meaning mushroom. The mushrooms are generally harvested in both wild and cultivated forms.
