The Chestnut mushroom, or Pholiota Adiposa, is in the same family as the Nameko. It is a stunning example of a mushroom with small rounded brown caps, bits of the veil often stick to the cap after it has opened before harvest. Pholiota adiposa Chestnut mushrooms tend to grow in clusters, similar to Oyster mushrooms, but taste much more like a mild Shiitake with a distinct “nutty” taste.
