Creamy white enokitakes have a mild flavor, crisp texture and are added to Japanese soups, sauces and sushi. Maiitakes, or oyster mushrooms, go well with fish, and are fan-shaped with a delicate flavour and slippery texture. White matsutake, shimeji, paddy straw mushroom, nameko and reishi (ling chi) are pickled, added to miso soups, stir-fried or used as toppings for seafood or steaks.

IMP NOTE : If you have store-bought mushrooms, do not soak them because the amount of water they absorb prolongs cooking time. Just before you are ready to cook them, run cold tap water over them quickly and lay them aside on a tea towel to get rid of excess water. Inspect each mushroom for damage and chop off any bruised areas.
