Place an old-fashioned glass in freezer for 5 minutes. In a mixing glass, combine sugar and water and stir to dissolve. Add porcini-infused bourbon, bitters and cubed ice. Stir to chill and dilute, then strain over a king cube in chilled old- fashioned glass. Express orange peel over surface of drink, then discard peel and garnish with brown shimeji mushrooms.
