Chestnut

Group of gourmet chestnut mushrooms

Chestnut mushrooms (pholiota adiposa) are related to namko. These are an exceptional mushroom in flavor, nutrition, and medicinal properties. We practically list them with the medicinals! 

But unlike the pure medicinals, like reishi and turkey tail, these are outstanding to eat.

Chestnuts have a strong, almost peppery flavor and a signature ”crunch." They are very good in soups or just as a side to steak.
