Farming cooperative Jungbu Mushroom Farm helps customers’ dream come true.
Enoki mushroom are long, thin white mushrooms used in Asian cuisines, particularly those of Korea, China and Japan. They are traditionally used for soups, but can also be used for salads and other dishes.
They have a crisp texture. Enoki mushroom grows widely over the world from the warm region to the cold region. It naturally grows on the stumps of the hackberry tree in bundle, but also on some other trees as for example mulberry and persimmon trees. Growing in colder season from late autumn to early spring, It is sometimes called 'winter mushroom'.
There is a significant difference in appearance between the wild and the cultivated mushrooms. Cultivated mushrooms are not exposed to the light resulting in a white color, whereas wild mushrooms usually have a dark brown color. The cultivated mushrooms are grown
in a high carbon dioxide environment to produce long thin stems, whereas wild mushrooms produce a much shorter and thicker stem.
The cultivation of the mushroom in Korea is known to be originated from Japan in 1899. At that time, the mushroom was produced at persimmon wood.
What is interesting is Korean pronunciation of the mushroom is same as that of toy top ( Paengi), which makes Korean misunderstand that the mushroom has relationship with top.
