Nameko Mushroom Pizza


(Scientific Name: Pholiota nameko) A brown capped mushroom with a white stem that grows in groups of clusters of numerous stems and caps closely aligned. Very popular in Asia where it originated, this mushroom is now cultivated throughout the world.

It is often used in Japanese home cooking. Interestingly I found a Nameko pizza with Mozzarella in Naples. I bought a slice off a street pizza place, very cheap. I love those slippery shiny yellow mushrooms!
