Shiitake block producing spores- Should I still eat them?
    #13986416 - 02/18/11 07:37 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

Maybe a dumb question, but I came home tonight to feast on my shiitakes just to see that they are shedding spores all over the block.. Are they good to eat at all?

Gourmet mushrooms producing spores can still be eaten, in fact there is really nothing wrong with them if they are.  Many people try to time their harvest so that they pick right before spores are dropped, but for the most part you are eating the spores no matter what.  Enjoy!

It's best to pick shiitake as the edges of the caps are still curled downward.  The meat is thicker and the quality and taste much better.  Once they drop spores, they being to decompose rapidly.
