Notes

Pholiota nameko, also known as the butterscotch mushroom, is a popular edible mushroom in Japan. It has a distinct butterscotch-like flavor and is commonly used in soups and stir-fries. It is cultivated on a substrate of sawdust and rice bran and can be harvested within 10-14 days. Pholiota nameko is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and has potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. It is also being studied for its potential use in bioremediation, as it has been shown to be effective in breaking down harmful chemicals in contaminated soils.
