Shimofuri Hiratake are a new variety of mushroom produced by crossbreeding a European oyster mushroom with a Japanese oyster mushroom.

Shimofuri means “marbling” in Japanese and indicates the marbled pattern on the mushroom caps. These mushrooms have a flavour profile similar to King Oyster mushrooms (savoury umami flavour) but with a more tender texture. It has a unique buttery texture once cooked that has quickly become a favourite amongst our chef’s.

This mushrooms variety is extremely versatile and can be cooked in a variety of methods – pan-fried, deep fried, stir fried or in soups. These mushrooms are also very useful in vegan cooking and can be used in dishes such as vegan pulled “pork” or fried “scallops”.
