kogane tamogitake

Forget about shitake mushrooms...we're talking gold mushrooms now! They were on sale for 60-cents (68yen) at the local supermarket. They are hard to come by at large supermarkets, which is why I often frequent the local veggie store, for unique veggies not likely found at major supermarkets.

This particular mushroom, 黄金タモギタケ, kogane-tamogitake, is known for its cancer and diabetes prevention properties. I think all mushrooms contain some sort of cancer prevention magic, which is why I am sure to incorporate a variety of shrooms into our diet!

I put them into fried rice, soup, simmered them in seconds using microwave magic...can't get enough of them!
