Description:
Also known as Beech or Clamshell Mushrooms, these umami rich mushrooms retain their shape during cooking as well as their crunch. They tend to have a slight shellfish taste and some say, a sweetly nutty finish. Shemiji mushrooms are a group of common Japanese mushrooms, much like the brown and white Agaricus (white mushroom and crimini) mushrooms are common in our supermarkets.
