14 Enoki mushrooms

Melbourne, Australia

Enoki mushrooms are cultivars of Flammulina velutipes
also called golden needle mushroom.
The stalk of the golden needle mushroom contains a large quantity of a protein,
which helps to regulate the immune system.
The enoki mushrooms are used in the Asian cuisine.

Use the enoki lightly cooked in soups or in stir-fries with vegetables.
Or uncooked in salads and sandwiches.
