Chestnut Mushroom

Pholiota adiposa, commonly called the Chestnut Mushroom, is admired for its rich, nutty flavor and firm texture. It works well in stews, stir-fries, and grilled dishes, adding a savory depth to recipes. The mushrooms have a beautiful reddish-brown cap with a glossy surface, making them visually appealing in gourmet presentations.

Nutritionally, Chestnut Mushrooms are a great source of protein, fiber, and B vitamins, particularly niacin and riboflavin. They also contain antioxidants and phenolic compounds that may reduce oxidative stress. Medicinally, they are known for supporting immune function and promoting cardiovascular health, thanks to their beta-glucan content.
