Chestnut Mushrooms (Local Pickup Only)
Chestnut mushrooms, also known as cinnamon caps, are a type of fungi that grow in clusters on hardwood trees and fallen logs in the Northern Hemisphere. They have small, golden or chestnut brown caps with shaggy scales, pink to dark brown gills, and thin white or beige stems. When mature, the caps can be about 5 inches in diameter and have a brown spore print. The scientific name Pholiota means "scaly" and adiposa means "fatty" or "greasy" when wet, which refers to the cap's slimy, oily appearance. These mushrooms have a rich, earthy flavor and a texture that holds up well to simmering. They are fantastic in soups and sauces.
