Lentinus squarrosulus (White Shiitake)
Known as the White Shiitake, this is a choice edible mushroom that packs an antioxidant punch! The caps make for good eating and have a nice umami taste. Stipes (stems) are often hard and are better used as soup stock or in braised dishes. You may also dehydrate the stipes and powder them to add to dishes as a seasoning.
To fruit this species, cut off the plastic bag at the substrate level and introduce to fruiting conditions.
