Meaning of the word どんこ
Because the text says ”立派な干ししいたけ,” it's not a fish called "どんこ,” famously
found in the Ariake shoal in northern Kyushu.

どんこ（冬子、冬菇 in Kanji）is a shiitake mushroom grown in winter time. It has a thick
“body and meat,” and is very delicious. The dried “Donko” is regarded as the
highest class of shiitake and precious. It could be our 垂涎の的 ー the target of
gourmands.
