Mushroom Description

Shiitake

Shiitake

Between 1000 and 1100 AD, Shiitake first earned a reputation as a beauty balm used to restore the skin’s luminance and vitality. Yet, it wasn’t restricted to the ruling classes. Shiitake was a common, and important ingredient, in culinary applications. Miso soup wouldn’t quite be the same without Shiitake mushrooms!

Potential applications, in addition to radiant skin, abound thanks to the compounds derived from Shiitake. The mushroom has been used to recover from the common cold, fortifying the immune system against future illness, and combating stress-related damage to mammalian cells.
