Shrooming...
I was arguing with Tempest over mushrooms the other day. And damn, I was wrong! Those chinese dried mushrooms are really shitake mushrooms!
Piangz! And shitakes are actually native to China!
Extract from Wikipedia:
"The shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes; Japanese: 椎茸, shiitake; Chinese: 香菇; Pinyin: xiānggū, literally "fragrant mushroom" or "delicious mushroom"; Korean: hangul: 표고; hanja: 瓢菰; pyogo), also known as Chinese black mushroom or black forest mushroom, is an edible mushroom typically cultivated on the shii tree. Two Chinese variant names for high grades of shiitake are dōnggū (冬菇, "winter mushroom") and huāgū (花菇, "flower mushroom," which has a flower-like cracking pattern on the mushroom's upper surface); both are produced at colder temperatures."
Arrgghhh!
