Features: Over thousands of years, the people of our country have accumulated rich experience in the culinary use of edible mushrooms, forming many unique dishes featuring mushrooms. What were once diverse in appearance, rich in texture, and unique in flavor—known as "mountain delicacies"—have now become "culinary treasures" on people's dining tables. Based on this, we have compiled this book. In it, we not only focus on introducing practical cooking methods for traditional medicinal and edible mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms, white button mushrooms, black fungus, reishi, and cordyceps, but also briefly cover their morphological characteristics, origins, nutritional content, medicinal value, and purchasing methods. Additionally, the book includes some rare edible mushrooms that have recently been successfully cultivated artificially and are now gradually entering the market, such as: pine needle mushrooms (also known as tea tree mushrooms), king oyster mushrooms, and chicken feet mushrooms. There are also wild, expensive mushrooms that cannot yet be cultivated artificially but are available in the market, such as Matsutake, boletes, chicken of the woods, and morels, along with their cooking methods, totaling 160 recipes. Each recipe is accompanied by a beautiful illustration for reference, allowing readers to enjoy both the culinary process and the aesthetic pleasure while reading this book. This book is suitable for use by chefs in restaurants, as a teaching reference for culinary professionals and students, and is particularly well-suited to guide families in daily selection, cooking, and consumption of mushrooms.
