Beech mushroom
White and brown
Brown beech mushroom
(Buna Shimeji/ Hypsizygus Tessellatus)
This mushroom grows in bunches, originates from Japan and originally stems from beech trees. The mushroom has a long, narrow tapered stem and a half-round top. It has also been grown in the Netherlands for several years.
- Delicious mushroom to use whole in dishes.
- Decorative and tasty.
Preparation
- Fried or cooked
- Soups and sauces
- Pasta dishes
- Tasty with fish
- Heat for short period, this mushroom remains crispy.
Storage
Preferably store beech mushrooms with soil in the refrigerator. They can be kept for a few days. The stems are also edible.
Cleaning
Gently clean beech mushrooms by cutting them off from the bunch. The stems are also edible, so only remove the soil. If necessary, clean with a brush or a piece of kitchen paper. Do not clean the beech mushroom under running water or by leaving it in water. They retain water and that leads to a loss of flavour.
