Mushrooms Organic Food Boxes contain shiitake mushrooms, other boxes white button mushrooms.
Shiitakes are a staple in many Chinese and Japanese dishes.
Their somewhat woodsy, meaty flavor is superb in a stir-fry, casserole, rich broth and in various pasta dishes. By the way, mushrooms are not vegetables, but fungi. They grow on decaying logs and other organic matter, in the dark. Exotic mushrooms are a growing market, and can be grown locally all year round. Good quality fresh mushrooms should be firm and free of blemishes.
