Shitake or Shit-Ake

In an attempt to speed up our recovery from our current cold & flu misery, we decided to try my classical Garlic Soup. The only problem was that we didn’t have any mushrooms, but we had Shitake. Looking up these japanese fungi in our herbal books, we noted its supposedly beneficial properties on immune system, etc. So, we made our soup with plenty of garlic and Shitake instead of mushrooms. Oh shit. The soup tasted better than ever, and it felt like a real and almost instant boost to all healthy aspects of life. But, after a few hours tummy-rumbles revealed that the soup had probably knocked out all other natural bugs in our digestive systems, hence Shitake is now, in our hosuehold, renamed Shit-Ake.
