straw mushroom

 straw mushroom Popular in Asian cooking, straw
 mushrooms are so named because they're grown on straw
 that's been used in a paddy. This musty, earthy growing
 medium contributes its distinct nuances to this mushroom's
 flavor. Tiny and coolie-shaped, straw mushrooms range in
 color from pale tan when young to dark charcoal gray
 when mature. Fresh specimens of this cultivated mushroom
can sometimes be found in specialty produce markets. More
readily available are canned straw mushrooms, which are
found in Asian markets. Also known as paddy straw
mushrooms and grass mushrooms.
