SHITAKE MUSHROOMS- GENERAL INFORMATION
Many markets stock shitake mushrooms, fresh or dried.
Fresh shitake mushrooms are intensely flavorful and
typically high-priced. Dried shitake mushrooms have highly
concentrated calories and minerals by weight, but because
of their strong flavor they are used in much smaller
quantities. They must soak before cooking.
