Mushroom History

Shiitake mushrooms, scientifically known as Lentinula edodes, have been cultivated for over a thousand years in Asia, particularly in Japan and China. They are highly valued not only for their rich flavour but also for their traditional medicinal properties.

The name "Shiitake" comes from the Japanese words "shii" (referring to the tree Castanopsis cuspidata on which they often grow) and "take" (meaning mushroom). Today, Shiitake mushrooms are enjoyed worldwide and are a staple in many cuisines, celebrated for their versatility and health benefits.
