The Uniqueness of Shitake Mushrooms
Fungi have a separate group, namely the kingdom fungi. Fungi are not classified in the kingdom plantae because they do not have chlorophyll (green leaf substance) and cannot photosynthesize.
Shitake mushroom, also known as shitake mushroom, is an East Asian food mushroom that is famous worldwide by its original name in Japanese. Shiitake mushrooms literally means mushrooms from the shii tree because the rotting trunk of the tree is a place for shiitake mushrooms to grow.
Raw shiitake mushrooms contain a toxic substance called lentunan and can cause rashes in some people. In addition, raw shiitake mushrooms may also contain germs that can cause poisoning when consumed.
