What about butter cooked, with black puddings and rashers

[feelotraveller]

Mushrooms are generally good in soups.  Also mushroom salads are a thing, they absorb dressings (vinegar or whatever) and get very tasty - often a mixture with fresh greens works well.

Soup is how I tried it first-- 0 flavor, all rubbery.

Fried, it illicits a very nice meaty taste. 

Raw, it tastes like any other mushroom.

Mushroom risotto.
Stuff and bake.
Marinate and roast.

Their ability to soak in liquids can flavour them almost endlessly.

But mushrooms will taste like mushrooms, whadya expect?

I won't be able to actually harvest it for quite some time, but it looks like it's gotten past that "tiny sprout that needs to fill it's entire container with roots before growing upwards" stage.

So now it ought to grow quite fast indeed.

How're the rosemary

A bit slow now, it's having trouble in the heat. About 6in tall.

[Loud Whispers]

Buy your rosemary some cool shades. It won't help them but it will make them look radicool in the sun

Oyster mushrooms arent really... Stuffable.

Here's the latest victims for the frying pan, so you can get an idea.




And I take it back a little-- Raw, they taste like a weaker version of shiitake. Same "somewhat fruity" smell and taste.

FANTASTIC fried.

[scriver]

Do they taste a bit like cardboard?

[wierd]

nope

Taste like shiitake, just not as strong.

[scriver]

I don't even know what shiitake is except for a very pun-inviting name for food

(You don't have to tell me I'm going to Google it)

Edit: so apparently it's mushrooms. Are you sure your mushroom taste like mushrooms? Sounds weird.

You know mushrooms are like an entire kingdom, right? These guys and shiitake aren't even in the same family. This is like saying that cucumbers should taste like radishes because plants taste like plants.

I don't even know what fish* is <>.
[*As opposed to beef]

(You don't have to tell me I'm going to Google it)

Edit: so apparently it's meat. Are you sure your meat+ taste like meat^? Sounds weird.

[+Meat as in fish]
[-Meat as in beef]

To demonstrate how very much different from normal mushroom shiitake tastes, especially when raw.

You have Terminal 7. Brain cancer.

Oyster mushrooms are really common in Korean food. They're great cooked on a hotplate with soy sauce and sesame oil. Or just stir fry with spinach for a tasty and healthy treat.
