Do you eat mushroom stems?

Chef's answer
Generally, yes, mushroom stems are edible. ... The stems of the skiitake mushroom I find too fibrous and too chewy. I'm sure that there are people who find shiitake stems completely palatable but not me. When preparing fresh shiitake mushrooms, I remove the stems.
