Shiitake mushrooms... too big?
    #26677873 - 05/17/20 10:28 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Is there such of a thing as to big of shitake mushrooms?  These are like portabella but just a bit bigger. What do you think?

I've never noticed the fruit quality to suffer with the big ones.  Yum :crazy2:

That is a very thick stipe that's gonna be waste, but I don't think you can get the thinner stems without switching strain.

Shiitake are even tougher, more fibery, and drier than oyster stems.  I'll eat oyster stems on occasion but I won't touch shiitake.

I don't trash em though, I dry and powder and use in soup stock, stew or whatever, for the health benefits, flavor, and vitamin D.  Better than throwing em away!

Do you use a cold shock to trigger yours into fruiting?
