About Straw mushroom

Straw mushroom is the edible mushroom commonly sold fresh or canned, with a rounded cap and a short stem. Young mushrooms may be enclosed in a pale, egg-like veil; as they mature, the cap opens and darkens. The flesh is soft and delicate, with a mild, earthy flavour.

It is used in soups, stir-fries, and other cooked dishes, particularly in Southeast Asian cuisines. Fresh mushrooms are perishable, while canned ones are often packed whole or in pieces. Fresh, canned, and dried forms differ in moisture, texture, and flavour, and should not be treated as nutritionally interchangeable.
