Shiitake
A detailed description of the shiitake mushroom is given below, and it includes the appearance, when and where the mushroom grows, as well as its application.
Hat (diameter 3-10 cm): hemispherical in shape, usually brown, brown or chocolate in color, often with light scales.
Leg (height 2-8 cm): lighter than a hat, solid.
Records: frequent, beige or white.
Shiitake doubles: champignons (Agaricus). The main difference is that shiitake plants grow on trees.
When growing: only in the warm season, but in artificially created conditions can bear fruit year-round.
Where can I find: most often on trunks of castanopsis long-pointed.

Eating: since the legs are very stiff, hats are most often used. They are usually dried, and soaked in water before use.
