About Mushroom, beech
Beech mushrooms are small cultivated mushrooms sold in clusters, with slender stems and rounded caps. They are commonly sold white or brown; the precise appearance and flavour vary with the type and maturity. Raw, they are firm and can taste mildly bitter, while cooking softens them and brings out a savoury flavour.
They are usually separated from the base of the cluster and cooked in soups, stir-fries, or other savoury dishes. Fresh clusters are the usual form, though they may also be sold trimmed or packaged for cooking. They should not be confused with every mushroom sold under the broader name “shimeji.”
