Is this the Lentinula edodes species of the shitake?

I won't pretend to know the answer to this question as I am not an expert on mushrooms. I will say that having purchased dried shiitake mushrooms from Costco before, these have the same taste and consistency and are an overall good deal.

i totally gave you the wrong answer. I thought this was Native Forest Coconut Milk. No idea if this is Kosher, I gave it away after buying it. I didn't like it. Sticking with my Native Forest. Sorry for the bad info.

It's NOT oak. It should be made of Japanese Oak but it isn't. How do I know? Look at my previous answer. I use real Bokken in AIKIDO and this one is broken in half so I was able to examine its build. Look at the picture I posted. It's not oak grain.

Yes, it is. It is produced by Fuji Cutlery, fairly large factory of Fujitora Industries, which was established after the war, in 1953 as Fujitora Industries, in the city Tsubame, in the west central prefecture of Niigata. They started out making farm equipment, I believe.

What I received was a cellephane sack of gnarly looking shitake mushrooms--and I mean this in the best possible way. If they'd been processed in anyway beyond being plucked, dried, and stuffed in the bag I'd be surprised. The only concern I'd have is what the soil conditions had been; and I again, I don't know. We've used them in multiple dishes and they're great tasting!

I looked online and cannot find the answer! If anything comes from the Japan area, then yes you should have a grave concern. Let me know if you find out.

The label does not state it specifically, but says the ingredients are dehydrated shitake mushrooms and below that says: 81 Industrial park Rd, Franklin, NC 28734, www.HarmonyHouseFoods.com. Hope this helps. P.s. This product has been great to have in the cupboard to add to dishes, as I don't always have access to fresh mushrooms. These are mushroom pieces. Very pleased with this product!

The Lingzhi Genseng Tea also has a Mushroom in with the tea. The Korean version of the Reishi mushroom. This mushroom had been reported to help with the immune system and fighting cancer and also alergies. It is also reported to help with asthma. This is just the information that had been passed on to me by an herbalist. I am not a professional herbalist.

No it is not. It is either half tang, or rat tail. It seems more like rat tail.

No, the one I received was made by tenryu and is a musashi model, its hand forged but not differentially hardened, the tempering is fake lije acid etched or something, still good though strong, balanced and sharp!

I don't believe they are species specific, but I bought it for a kitty, so you'd be covered. Incidentally, I put Thumper(my cat) on herbs that put him in remission for the diabetes; if you are interested in that info, I will forward it to you. I still monitored him with the Alpha Trak until the doc gave him the all clear.

Sorry, I don't know. I ordered Chocolate brown from Amazon warehouse and was sent Kaki. I didn't take it out of the box, just returned it.

The only ingredient listed is "dried sliced shiitake mushrooms." They are packaged by HoosierHillFarm.com, you could probably get more information from them directly.

Hi! Yes, such as pond water creatures- diatoms, paramecium, and such. My son also did a cheek swab, and checked out those cells.

well at the top of the package it lists a province in Japan, Koyoto-Yagi "Yagi was a town located in Funai District, Kyoto Prefecture.." this is disgustingly misleading, how the seller highlights "distributed by.." a Hawaiian company. so someone in Hawaii is selling possibly radiation-poisoned, toxic, perhaps lethal Japanese seaweed and these deceptive merchants call it "Hawaiian"

I had no idea this was an issue with some brand of dried mushrooms. I would not know how you could find out specifically about this brand. The label and insructions on the package were all in Chinese, if memory serves, so that would not be of help unless you are fluent in Chinese. With foodstuffs coming from countries other than the United States, my attitude is one of Caveat emptor --buyer beware. And if I choose to consume them, I do so knowing there is a risk.

Not that I know of. The package just states that they are Moringa Oleifera. They are the most common and the sturdiest for our climate.
