### SHITAKE MUSHROOMS- GENERAL INFORMATION

        Many  markets stock  shitake mushrooms, fresh or dried.

    Fresh
      shitake  mushrooms  are   intensely   flavorful  and

    typically
    high-priced.  Dried shitake mushrooms have  highly

    concentrated
     calories  and minerals by weight,  but because

    of
     their  strong  flavor  they   are  used  in much smaller

    quantities.
     They must soak before cooking.
