Shiitake mushrooms are cultivated edible fungi which are easily available on market shelves worldwide. The mushroom is famous for its rich texture and smoky flavour, and can be found in both fresh and dried forms. When buying fresh shiitake mushrooms, choose mushrooms that are firm and thick; the underside of the cap should be whitish.
