Chanterelle Mushroom




While they are not poisonous, there are some reported cases where they've caused gastric discomfort in some people. 


They can be anywhere from almost white to deep yellow or almost orange in color. The cap of a chanterelle is flat at first, then funnel shaped. The edges curl with age and become wavy or lobed. The stem is solid, continuous with the cap, smooth and paler in color at the base.


Chanterelles are meaty and chewy. ... Very few people eat chanterelles raw. They are peppery and upsetting, and they can make some people ill. In any case, their finest flavor can only be appreciated when they are thoroughly cooked.

Fresh Organic Brown Clamshell (Hon Shimeji) Mushrooms:

Brown Clamshell mushrooms,also known as Hon- or Buna-Shimeji, are noted for their crisp texture, mild shellfish flavor profile and a nutty richness that enhances the flavor of foods with which they are paired. Perfect for roasting or stir frys, Brown Clamshell mushrooms retain their wonderful texture even after cooking.
