Stir-fry of mixed mushrooms with black beans, celeriac and potatoes

This is a suprising and very tasty stir-fry of Japanese mushrooms, black beans and celeriac served with Japanese rice. The black beans I used are the common ones (ブラックビーン, “burakkubiin” in Japanese), not the black-skinned soy beans (黒豆,”kuromame”) because they are hard to find here. Celeriac is not a common vegetable in Japan either but the taste goes really well with the mushrooms and beans.
