Why are shiitake mushrooms called shiitake mushrooms even though they are not fragrant?

According to legend, there was a beautiful girl named Xianggu in Mount Wutai. She was not only good-looking, but also kind-hearted, and she also had a singing voice like a lark. One day, Xianggu was picking mushrooms on the mountain and was discovered by a monster in the mountain. The monster sent a little demon to catch Xianggu. Xianggu hurriedly ran to the highest mountain. When Xianggu ran to Jinxiu Peak, it started to drizzle. The little demon couldn't see Xianggu, but people at the foot of the mountain saw Xianggu turning into clouds and rain. Since then, many mushrooms have grown on Jinxiu Peak. This mushroom has a fragrance that is different from ordinary mushrooms. Therefore, local legend has it that Xianggu turned into shiitake mushrooms.
