Djon-djon (Djon Djon) Haitian Mushroom (Psathyrella Candolleana) 8oz

Description

8oz Djon-Djon Musroom.
Djon djon (djon-djon) is the common name for a type of edible black mushroom often found in northern Haiti and used as a delicacy in some Haitian dishes, such as Diri ak djon djon. The name is thought not to refer to a single species of mushroom, but is rather thought to be a colloquial name for several taxonomically distinct species.
When cooked, djon djon mushrooms give the dish that they are in an "exquisite color, taste, and aroma. Before cooking, the inedible stems are removed and the caps are used. Djon djon are often served with rice and a meat such as pork, or fish. Boiling the mushrooms releases a grayish-black color into the water, which can then be used to flavor and color the rice they are served with, giving it a black color.[2] Dishes utilizing the mushroom are often served in Haiti on special occasions, such as birthdays, weddings, or on Christmas
