Enoki - Gourmet Mushrooms

Enoki Gourmet Mushrooms (Flammulina Velutipes) are extremely popular in Asian cuisines. Enoki or Enokitake mushrooms are generally seen as long, thin and white but in the wild Enoki look completely different being dark brown in colour, shorter and with normal size caps. Other names for these gourmet mushrooms include Winter Mushroom, Velvet Stem Mushroom and Golden Needle Mushroom. The cultivated Enoki are grown in plastic bottles with paper cones inserted to restrict their growth producing long thin stems. Lighting is also strictly controlled.
