Shiitake grow in groups on the decaying wood of deciduous trees, particularly shii and other chinquapins, chestnut, oak, maple, beech, sweetgum, poplar, hornbeam, ironwood, and mulberry. Its natural distribution includes warm and moist climates in Southeast Asia .
Shiitake and oyster mushrooms have traditionally been produced using the outdoor log technique, although controlled techniques such as indoor tray growing or artificial logs made of compressed substrate have been substituted. [4] [5] [6] Shiitake mushrooms that are grown under a forested canopy are considered non-timber forest products. [7]
Morels are difficult to grow commercially, but there are ongoing efforts to make cultivating morels at scale a reality. [10] Since 2014, some farmers in China have been cultivating morels outdoors in the spring; however, yields are variable. [10] Morels must be cooked before eating. Lentinula edodes, the Shiitake mushroom [9]
This is a very distinct mushroom except for its cousin, the black staining mushroom, which is similar in taste but rubbery. Edible species which look similar to G. frondosa include Meripilus sumstinei (which stains black), Sparassis spathulata [4] and Laetiporus sulphureus, another edible bracket fungus that is commonly called chicken of the woods or "sulphur shelf".
Arguably the most iconic toadstool species, the fly agaric is one of the most recognizable fungi in the world, and is widely encountered in popular culture, including in video games—for example, the frequent use of a recognizable A. muscaria in the Mario franchise (e.g. its Super Mushroom power-up)—and television—for example, the houses ...

It is caused by the ingestion of shiitake mushrooms and was first described in 1977 by Nakamura. [2] Although it is rarely seen outside China and Japan due to a lower incidence of shiitake consumption outside these regions, there is a well-established association between flagellate dermatitis and shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes) ingestion.
If people grow enoki mushrooms at home, they can use a sharp knife or scissors to snip off the mushroom cluster at the base of the stem where it meets the growing medium. It's important to remove both the mushrooms and any remaining mycelium (the white, thread-like structures) from the growing medium during harvest.
