Varieties
Lion's Mane
Crab and lobster-like texture. Increasingly used as a centerpiece vegetable dish and in vegan applications. Visually striking on the plate.
Chestnut
Nutty, firm stem. Stays crunchy when cooked. Reliable workhorse variety for sautés, pastas, and sides.
Blue Oyster
Delicate flavor, vibrant color. Great for garnishes, sautés, and lighter preparations.
Black King
Rich umami, holds texture well under heat. A striking, dark alternative to commodity mushrooms.
