I guess I will like them. The small ones are slimy too but have a nice flavour.Fräulein Trudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786420907067152211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-91419740444362969472012-06-25T06:54:53.148+09:002012-06-25T06:54:53.148+09:00Sissi and Kiki: Nameko is slimy, so I have no ide...Sissi and Kiki: Nameko is slimy, so I have no idea whether you will like it or not.<br /><br />Kiki, thanks for the link. My father-in-law grows nameko in the same way. If left to grow, nameko can become very huge. We were once given such huge ones. They were still edible but didn't look very appetizing.Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-20010144746236701942012-06-25T04:41:38.098+09:002012-06-25T04:41:38.098+09:00Sadly we don't have so many different kinds of...Sadly we don't have so many different kinds of mushrooms in our shops. In Japan there are lots of wood consuming mushrooms in commercial use which are nearly unknown here. I researched a little and found okky nameko are a japanese variety of the family of Strophariaceae named Pholiota nameko (bot. lat.). We have a german name for these mushrooms too but they don't sell them that often. In german they are called "tiny golden caps". They can be easily raised on birch chunks as described on german mushroom farming websites. I wonder if I should order some breed for my mushroom garden as shown in this picture http://www.shiitake.de/infos_allg/nameko/nameko_stamm.jpg.Fräulein Trudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786420907067152211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-84907346245920661082012-06-25T00:31:24.144+09:002012-06-25T00:31:24.144+09:00I have never tasted this mushroom (apparently name...I have never tasted this mushroom (apparently nameko in general can be bought canned but the taste must be much worse...).
