Great information
Where is he shopping that they sell loose mushrooms?
I'm going to try one of those mushroom growing kits, all I ever see in my store are button or criminis
None of thse mushrooms taste better than ones what we go pick from forest here. Market ones are all so bland and flavorless, kind of waste of money and time what you spend to cook them.
Woah, wrong kind of mushrooms. I'll keep searching 🍄
Can I use it as a drying aid?
I ate mushrooms that didn't come from a store, it was magic!
Seriously, my grandmother used to pick mushrooms out in the yard (something I would never do), nobody died and they were fine.
I think the king oyster mushrooms were the only ones I could eat while I was on a FODMAO diet, if I remember correctly. They really are great – meaty texture, delicious vegetarian centerpiece. When I could find them in a supermarket, they were expensive and small. But I am lucky to have an Asian grocery nearby – they had BIG, more reasonably priced king oyster mushrooms.
so expensive these days, better to grow em.
The key ingredient you should be bothered about is Psilocybin, 😂😂😂
Oooof, that was a rough looking morel
I'm definitely washing my mushrooms after seeing Jack stick his nose right into them like that😂
when i was in Oregon i picked mushrooms, loved the hedgehog mushroom, as fgar as washing them the buyers would send you home and tell you to spread them out on newspaper come back in 2 days then they will buy them!
This is too short and no chanterelle ?
Thank you!
Had to take any professional kitchen seriously when everyone in the background is wearing a mask.
嗯~!菇類是個好東西! 營養豐富而且口感又好!
It is not a good idea to eat raw mushrooms, including the ones you find at supermarkets. Mushrooms have chemical compounds in them that are not found in vegetables.
Dried mushrooms, especially shiitake, are amazing and they often taste a lot better than the fresh mushrooms. You can also use the soaking liquid in sauces or soups.
You can microwave the button and crimini mushrooms to prevent them from soaking up oil when you're sauteing them.
I didn’t eat mushrooms until I was 60. I really had a mental block about eating fungus. But now I think they’re delicious, although the oyster mushrooms really look like sex toys. 🍄
When it comes to the king oyster mushrooms, I'd actually recommend to use a tofu press on them (cap removed to be sautéed on its own) to get them into like a flat slab. From there, you can give it a semi quick, high heat cook on the outside, and then slice it up into strips. The pressing, and high heat give them almost a tteokbokki-like mouth feel, while still bringing its best flavors to the forefront
if you wanna know the other kind of mushroom, this is the wrong channel
About to have a great trip
My fav wild mushroom quote
"All mushrooms are edible, some just once"
Save stems for vegetables broth production with ends of asparagus, core of cauliflower and cabbage, as well as out leaves, chard and kale stems, always bits of onions (just not as much onions bits that we generate.
King oysters and Chanterelles are my favorites.
Thank you!
Ready to go Morel Hunting!!
Thanks Jack! Great presentation and information. I absolutely adore mushrooms and usually get the cremini, shitaki or portabella.
Good to know about the smell test, thanks for that, and keeping them in an open bag in the refrigerator. Very helpful. I usually sauté mine in butter and sherry and they are very delicious.
