Whole dried Antler Pilose mushrooms, carefully prepared for culinary and nutritional use.
🌍 History & Background
Antler Pilose mushrooms (Lyophyllum decastes, also known as Pilose Antler or Velvet Antler mushrooms) are distinctive edible fungi prized for their rich, earthy flavor and unique coral‑like form. Native to East Asia, they have been cultivated and enjoyed for centuries in Chinese cuisine, where mushrooms are revered as symbols of longevity, balance, and harmony.
In traditional Chinese cooking, Antler Pilose mushrooms were often added to soups, broths, and festive dishes, valued for their texture and depth of flavor. Their branching, antler‑like appearance made them a striking ingredient in ceremonial meals and cultural practices. Today, they continue to be appreciated worldwide, enjoyed both for their culinary versatility and their cultural heritage.
