I have a small herb garden where a variety of herbs are growing. One of the best growing herbs is Thyme, which is the essential ingredient for this Mushroom Sauce. You may wish to use other herbs, but try with Thyme once. It would be absolutely delicious.

Rickard, it seems you love mushrooms. I love mushrooms, too. Not only Asian mushrooms, but I love all mushrooms. Mushrooms are fabulous food!

Hiroko, yes indeed, I love all varieties of mushrooms. My favorite omelette is one with mushrooms and cheese.
Speaking of cheese, I also love all types of cheese. Hokkaido, by the way, makes excellent cheese, probably the best in Japan.
My wife is from Akita-Ken, and there are all types of wild mushrooms in the mountains, along with many cultivated mushrooms.

Yes, Japan has a variety of edible wild mushrooms, so do European countries. Unfortunately, here in Melbourne in Australia, we have very limited range. However, more and more Asian mushrooms are becoming available and I am happy. You wife is Japanese? Then you can find many recipes on my website for the dishes that are familiar to you.
