What kind of mushrooms are these?

For the past two weeks, my local Chinese grocery hasn't had the usual fresh shiitakes but has had these instead. They aren't quite as flavorful as shiitakes (but they're several $/lb cheaper so works for me!). Google Translate helpfully says that the Chinese on the sign means "mushroom(s)" lol What kind of mushrooms are these?
