Shimeji (Hypsizygus marmoreus / tessellatus) A pack of our shimeji mushrooms contains 150g. The shimeji mushroom is a type of exotic edible cultivated fungus originating from Asia. It is a small mushroom, with a fan-shaped cap and a long, thin stem. It has a firm and crunchy texture, and a mild and delicate flavor. There are two main types of shimeji: white shimeji (Hypsizygus tessellatus) and brown shimeji (Hypsizygus marmoreus). Aside from the color, white shimeji has a milder flavor while brown shimeji has a more earthy and deep taste. At Laumont, you can find both varieties. Shimeji is a good source of protein, fiber, B vitamins, and minerals such as iron and potassium. Additionally, it is low in calories and fat, making it a healthy option to add to any dish. Morphology of shimeji One of the characteristics of the shimeji mushroom is that it has a tangled growth base, which means they can be easily separated into small individual clusters. This makes it easy to cook and add to any dish. It has a fan-shaped cap (pileus) with diameters ranging from 2 to 5 cm, and a long and thin stem (stipe) that can measure up to 10 cm in length.
