The nutritional value of dried mushrooms and fresh mushrooms is basically not much different, but the dried products are more fragrant.

Lentinus edodes is known as "delicious", and it has been recorded in the Song Dynasty as a tribute, and it is also an indispensable "vegetarian" dish at folk banquets in China. The Japanese called mushrooms "the pinnacle of plant food" and the Romans listed them as "divine food".

Mushrooms are rich in nutrition and are very beneficial to human health. According to the analysis of food experts, the edible parts of dried shiitake mushrooms account for 72% of the whole, and each 100g edible part contains 13g water, 1.8g fat, 54g carbohydrate, 7.8g crude fiber, 4.9g ash, 124mg calcium and 4/kloc-0.

Extended data

Lentinus edodes is a light-proof fungus. Diffuse light is an indispensable factor for the growth of mushroom fruiting body. The minimum light intensity of fruiting body differentiation of Lentinus edodes is 100- 150lx, and the optimum light intensity is about 300lx. Dark fruiting body has light color, thin flesh, long stalk and poor quality. Too much direct light is very harmful to the development of fruiting bodies. The effective wavelength of light wave formed by Lentinus edodes primordium is between 370-420nm.

In the dark or under the light of about 150lx, the development of cap folds is blocked, and 1 microspores or 2 microspores often appear. The number of basidiospores is obviously reduced, and the fruiting body is easy to distort. Lentinus edodes mycelium growth stage does not need light. Strong light will inhibit the growth of hyphae, so the hyphae before breaking the bag should try to avoid strong light irradiation.
