Description
By volume, pholiota nameko is Japan's most cultivated mushroom species, and it has deep cultural value to the nation since it is a key ingredient of the national favorite Miso Soup. Surprisingly, this mushroom is little known elsewhere, possibly because of its sticky coating, which may distract from its rich flavor.
