Japanese Mushroom Words
In English, we say "Shitake mushroom." In Japanese, could I say "椎茸キノコ," or is this redundant? I heard that 茸 can mean mushroom as well, but I just don't understand how best to use these words. Can someone please explain?

Question

Answer

Thank you for the information!

Answer

"Kinoko" is mushroom in general. Shitake mushroom is "椎茸".

Answer

Just to let you know about the case of "えのき茸", you more often even omit the latter part of the word "茸" and say "えのき", which literally just means a tree they probably live on.

Answer

My pleasure.
