American matsutake mushrooms found on today’s forage. One of the most unique mushrooms found in the PNW. #1’s like this can go for a pretty penny.

Nice, I don’t think we get those here in the southeast

It’s good mushroom. Great in ramen. Here it grows under shore pines in sandy soil. They also grow in the mountains.

Nice. I use wood ears in my ramen

We get those. Number 1's are great but I prefer the number 3s

What is a number 1 or 3 for that matter? You referring the quality/peakness

A number one is a mushroom button. Most money. Then if the veil is torn it becomes a two. and if its torn all around it becomes a 4 I guess.

Ya, prime, in this case it means unopened still has the veil intact.
