From Bill Russell’s website: http://www.brmushrooms.com/winter%20mushrooms.html. Bill’s entire site is worth exploring. You’ll find a few words on his book on my site also at http://eatmoretoadstools.com/Plant_and_Mushroom_Bibliography.php

I found these at a farmers market. I’ve never seen shitake in the wild anyhow. The caps went into a tofu stir-fry, served over brown jasmine rice. The stems, which are too woody to digest, were tossed into the pot with leek roots and celery leaves for a vegetable broth. I’m gonna make parsnip soup… if I can find any good parsnips.
