Shiitake Mushrooms | Mushroom Varieties 101 - Mushroom Council
Shiitake mushrooms have umbrella-shaped caps, wide open veils, tan gills and curved stems. Shiitake mushrooms are often described as having an earthy, smoky flavor and a rich meaty-yet-buttery texture when cooked.
A closed veil indicates a delicate flavor while an open veil indicates a richer flavor. The veil opens as moisture is lost, concentrating the mushroom’s essence. The average shelf life of mushrooms depends on the variety. A brown or black veil indicates the mushroom is past its prime.
