The white beech mushroom is also known as the Shimeji mushroom. There is also a brown variant of this mushroom. The white beech mushroom is grown in the dark, which is why it has remained white. Beech mushrooms mainly grow in clusters on beech trees. The texture of the beech mushroom is firm and the taste is nutty. The white beech mushroom is lighter in taste than the brown one. It is not recommended to consume the beech mushroom raw, as it tastes very bitter when raw. Beech mushroom goes well with fish dishes. With the right preparation (not heating too long), the beech mushroom remains nice and crunchy.
