Shimeji Mushrooms, also known as Beech Mushrooms, grow in small, tight clusters. They have long, slender stems and small, rounded caps. They should always be cooked, as they are bitter raw. Cooking transforms their flavor into a wonderfully savory, nutty, and buttery taste, while their texture remains delightfully firm and crunchy. They are perfect for stir-fries, soups, noodle dishes, and roasted vegetable medleys. We offer both the brown (Buna-shimeji) and white (Bunapi-shimeji) varieties.

A Wonderful, Nutty Mushroom: We have added Shimeji mushrooms to our stir-fry and soup offerings in our Romanian restaurant. They have a great nutty flavor and, importantly, a firm, crunchy texture that doesn't get lost when cooked. Both the brown and white varieties are excellent.
