One Asian mushroom that has not made as big a name for itself in North America as the shiitake is the enokitake.
In addition to enokitake, this mushroom is known as enokidake or just enoki.
Enokitake are high in vitamin D, and also provide small amounts of B-complex vitamins.

Enokitake contains a cardiotoxic protein (flammutoxin) that is rendered harmless when subjected to heat (100 degrees C) for 20 minutes.

 Asian mushrooms (Japanese foods in history)
Known as the "winter mushroom" in China (as is the shiitake, which is also grown there), it is like most other mushrooms in that its flavor intensifies with drying.
The enokitake (Flammulina velutipes), or somtimes just enoki (their home is on the stumps of the Chinese hackberry tree called enoki), are slender mushroom stalks with small bulbs at the top, which grow in clumps and reach upwards of 5 inches in length.
Their delicate flavor is called for in many Asian dishes, but they are best appreciated when eaten raw in salads.

 Functional properties of edible mushrooms.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
It is estimated that approximately 50% of the annual 5 million metric tons of cultivated edible mushrooms contain functional "nutraceutical" or medicinal properties.
In order of decreasing cultivated tonnage, Lentinus (shiitake), Pleurotus (oyster), Auricularia (mu-er), Flammulina (enokitake), Tremella (yin-er), Hericium, and Grifola (maitake) mushrooms have various degrees of immunomodulatory, lipid-lowering, antitumor, and other beneficial or therapeutic health effects without any significant toxicity.
Although the data for this functional food class are not as strong as those for other functional foods such as cruciferous vegetables, because of their potential usefulness in preventing or treating serious health conditions such as cancer, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), and hypercholesterolemia, functional mushrooms deserve further serious investigation.

Speaking of tasty mushrooms, however, when doing shabu-shabu (which is also possible in vegetarian versions if you use a vegetarian stock to cook the food in, and stick to cooking vegetables), enoki mushrooms ("enokitake") are simply divine.

A little searching reveals that both enokitake and shiitake are found on (both) elm and beech (and also oak).

 Shiitake: Cultivated Mushroom, QB 96-13
These species contain moderate quantities of good quality protein and are good sources of dietary fiber, vitamin C, B vitamins, and minerals.
Some species (e.g., shiitake) accumulate cadmium and selenium and other heavy metals, and some may contain toxic substances such as the heat labile cardiotoxic proteins volvatoxin in the straw mushroom and flammutoxin in enokitake.
Extensive clinical studies, primarily in Japan, have clearly demonstrated that a number of species have medicinal and therapeutic value, by injection or oral administration, in the prevention/treatment of cancer, viral diseases (influenza, polio), hypercholesterolemia, blood platelet aggregation, and hypertension.
