I don't speak any Chinese, but I asked some Hong Kong vendors and they wrote down "冬菇" for me. Some websites call these Shiitake Mushrooms, but is this correct? I know they're dried, but they still don't look like Shiitake to me.

Are these really the same species as Shiitake Mushrooms in American supermarkets?

冬菇 are indeed Lentinula edodes or shiitake mushrooms.

Note that mushrooms can vary a bit in color depending on where the were grown and dehydrating will also change them.
