About
A distinctive white tooth fungus with a tender, substantial texture and mild savory flavor.
In the Kitchen
Tear or slice into substantial pieces and sauté, roast, sear, or use anywhere its texture can remain central to the dish.
Choose This If…
You want a mushroom whose unusual texture can become the centerpiece rather than simply adding background mushroom flavor.
How We Grow It
Grown outdoors on hardwood using totem culture in a shaded woodland mushroom yard.
