Enoki mushrooms
Sometimes called golden mushrooms, enoki mushrooms are a traditional ingredient of Japanese sukiyaki. I bought them (Shopwise, Antipolo) for exactly that purpose but I found other uses for them as well.
Enoki mushrooms come in clusters. They require little preparation and a very short cooking time. Cut the stems where they can be separated individually. I prefer to blanch them in boiling water for about 30 seconds only since overcooking can make the stems tough. Use them for stir fries or soups.
Golden Gourmet Mushrooms cites some information about the enoki’s medicinal properties including its “anti-cancer and anti-tumor activity from extracts” in its “powerful polysaccharide called flammulin.”

Discovering them forever changed my life. It was the beginning of my love affair with mushrooms. Years later, when imported fresh and canned mushrooms started entering the local market, I would buy and try every new variety I’d find. I especially adore straw mushrooms and enoki mushrooms. [...]
