The Beech Mushroom (Shimeji) - The Complete Growing Guide (PDF)

Shimeji - tidy clusters of small, marble-capped mushrooms on slender stems, in two colours: brown buna-shimeji and white bunapi. Unpleasantly bitter raw, it turns nutty, firm and shape-holding once cooked - a staple of Japanese cooking. This guide takes you from a sawdust bottle to a neat cluster: the substrate, the slow colonisation and maturation that make tidy clusters, the cool fruiting trigger, harvesting, and why this mushroom must always be cooked.
