Dried Shiitake Mushrooms (Whole Caps)

Shiitake Mushrooms Whole Caps — Rich, Savory, Umami Depth

Enjoy the rich, savory flavor of Shiitake Mushrooms, one of the most beloved gourmet mushrooms in kitchens around the world. At Oyster Creek Mushroom Company in Damariscotta, Maine, we’ve been cultivating premium shiitake mushrooms since 1989 — using the traditional oak log growing method for exceptional quality and flavor.

After harvesting, the mushrooms are carefully dried to preserve their deep umami richness and signature meaty texture. When rehydrated, shiitakes return to a tender, satisfying bite while releasing a flavorful broth that enhances soups, sauces, and grain dishes.

Their bold, earthy taste makes them a staple ingredient in both Asian and Western cuisine.
