Season: September through December (or the first snow) Also known as: Ponderosa Mushrooms, 松茸, Matsitaki, Pine Mushrooms, O-Matsu, Tricholoma magnivelare or Matsi. Matsutake mushrooms have a firm white flesh with a distinctive aroma of cinnamon and pine and a firm, chewy texture and a spicy flavor. They are highly prized by the Japanese culture and are thought to bring fertility and by extension fortune and happiness. The matsutake is excellent in sukiyaki and tempura; also, matsutake rice and dobin mushi (steamed in a teapot), and soup are also delicious dishes. Grill, broil, steam or bake.
