Forest Nameko-Style Shiitake

B tier

Forest nameko-style shiitake is a trade-list niche label for small, clustered, or forest-marketed shiitake presented with nameko-like sharing plates energy—still L. edodes, not true nameko (Pholiota). Expect small caps and woodsy notes if genuinely log-forest grown. Use in mixed mushroom sautés; verify you did not receive true nameko if slipperiness is required. A naming overlap to treat carefully. Good in broths when authentic shiitake.
