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.

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.
