Shimeji
''Shimeji'' (Japanese: , or ) is a group of edible mushrooms native to East Asia, but also found in northern Europe. ''Hon-shimeji (Lyophyllum shimeji'') is a mycorrhizal fungus and difficult to cultivate. Other species are saprotrophs, and ''buna-shimeji'' (''Hypsizygus tessulatus'') is now widely cultivated. ''Shimeji'' is rich in umami-tasting compounds such as guanylic acid, glutamic acid, and aspartic acid.
