UNDER 2.5 INCHES

 

Matsutake: Ponderosa Mushrooms, Pine Mushrooms, 松茸, O-Matsu, Tricholoma magnivelare or Matsi. Matsutake mushrooms have a firm white flesh with a distinctive aroma of cinnamon and pine and a firm, chewy texture and a spicy flavor. They are highly prized by the Japanese culture and are thought to bring fertility and by extension fortune and happiness. The matsutake is excellent in sukiyaki and tempura; also, matsutake rice and dobin mushi (steamed in a teapot), and soup are also delicious dishes. Grill, broil, steam or bake.

 

Size: Under 2.5 inches, this is a very good way to buy matsutake on a budget. They are small, also called dinks. The cap is not formed to this sized mushroom. Please be sure to view the picture before purchasing. We do not give refunds for the reason of not knowing what the mushroom looked like. Sorry, but it has happened before, and we want you to be satified with your purchase.  

This is a perishable item and it must be refrigerated upon arrival. We suggest putting them into a strainer in the product compartment in your refrigerator and covering them with a slightly moist cloth to keep the veil from drying out and tearing. Do not store in plastic, they need air circulation.
