Thread: Edible Mushrooms......Mmmmmmmm

I recently thought, "If for some reason I knew I'd be having my last meal what would it be?"

It would either be a whole plate of, or at least a generous portion of sauteed fresh mushrooms like Trumpet, Shiitake, Enoki, etc. Just sauteed in olive oil with some fresh coarse ground pepper and a pinch or two of sea salt.

I love those things; the flavor and the texture of those meatier mushrooms are just the best.

Nice. Mushrooms are a BIG thing in Japan, and I never realized how many different flavors they can cover. Shiitake (two i's will help get past that language filter!) and enoki are two of my favorites as well; I love matsutake as well, but man--talk about expensive!

Mushrooms are delicious, aren't they? On a side note the profanity editor has gone too far this time ;-)

Al raz.

Mushroom pizza with TONS of caned mushrooms – the fresh ones just don’t do it on pizza.

Lol, I thought this thread was going to be about something else alltogether...

Personally, I am not a fan of mushrooms. It's partly a texture thing, partly the idea of eating fungus.

EXACTLY! Sautéed with pepper. I also like a batch of battered deep fried 'shrooms if they're done well. I always throw them in my omelettes. My wife makes a super tofu in mushroom gravy dish that even her carnivore family can't resist.

A winner on pizza is to slice some fresh mushrooms and fry them in butter with a clove of garlic, not letting the garlic go too brown. Slap that onto pizza, butter and all!

Also, dried mushrooms can add bags of wonderful savoury flavor to things. Dried porcini (ceps) rehydrated and used to make mushroom risotto is a truely wonderful thing.

hey, stop stop your getting me hungry.

Just had a big helping of a stirfry I made last night, but was to tired to eat it after a brutal workout.
It had tons of exotic fresh mushrooms in it. YUM! many different flavors and textures.
