Vegetable Dishes 27: Mushrooms

Mushrooms are not just for making soup, they are also good when stir-fried. White button mushrooms¹ tend to contain sand and become mouldy rather easily, and must be stored and prepared correctly. Shaggy-mane mushrooms² are easy to prepare and also quite enjoyable.³

蘑菇不止作湯，炒食亦佳。但口蘑最易藏沙，更易受霉，須藏之得法，制之得直。雞腿蘑便易收拾，亦復討好。

Notes:
¹Koumo (口蘑), or “mouth mushroom” is the white button mushroom (Agaricus_bisporus)
²Jituimo (雞腿蘑), or “chicken drumstick mushroom” is the shaggy mane mushroom (Coprinus comatus), before they mature.
³ Both white button and shaggy-main mushrooms are great when young, but old button mushrooms becomes loose and inky and old shaggy-mane mushrooms turn into a mushy, black mess.
