Dried Agaricus Mushroom (Ji Song Rong) | 50g

The Dried Agaricus Mushroom is sometimes called Ji Song Rong, other times Agaricus blazei, and you may even hear people refer to it as the “sun mushroom.” Whatever the name, it has been part of cooking traditions for many years. In China and Japan it’s quite common in soups or even brewed as a tea. Here in the UK, it’s still something of a hidden gem—but one that’s worth discovering if you enjoy experimenting in the kitchen.

At Mycology, we focus entirely on mushrooms. That’s it. Just carefully chosen, properly dried functional mushrooms that we know are good quality. The Agaricus is no exception. It arrives sliced, dried without sulphur, and ready to use. Open the bag, and the aroma hits straight away—earthy, rich, and a little nutty.

The Story Behind Dried Agaricus Mushroom

Agaricus mushroom supplements have a bit of a reputation in Asia. Families there have been adding it into broths and hotpots for generations. The drying process intensifies the flavour, so even a handful of slices can change the whole character of a dish. It’s not a shy mushroom – it stands out—and that’s exactly why people appreciate it.

When sourcing our mushrooms, we go back to growers in regions where Agaricus has been part of the culture for a long time. They dry it in the traditional way, without sulphur treatments or chemical shortcuts, which means what you’re getting is as close to the real thing as possible.

Cooking with Dried Agaricus Mushroom

There isn’t just one way to enjoy Dried Agaricus Mushroom. Some people brew it like tea. Others prefer it in stews or braised dishes. You might try it in a risotto, or drop a few slices into a clear broth on a cold day.

Here are a few ideas:

• Soups & broths – soak the slices, then let them simmer with vegetables or noodles.

• Stews & braises – perfect for long, slow cooking, soaking up the flavours of the pot.

• Rice & pasta dishes – works beautifully with risottos, pilafs, or a simple pasta sauce.

• Stir-fries – rehydrate and toss in with seasonal veg for an extra bite.

• Tea or infusion – simmer gently for a dark, earthy drink that’s warming and savoury.

A small tip: don’t throw away the soaking water. It’s packed with flavour and can be used like a stock.
