I like them with diced chicken in a white cream sauce, over rice. They add a light crunchiness to the dish that way. I also put them in Oriental dish's like Chop Suey or Stir Fry's.

most all mushroom videos tell you big names people can hardly say  right . and do not tell us any thing of real information like what one might look for to tell WTF it is bad or not .

[grifola]

@solvssod Latin names are used so people know exactly what mushroom is being discussed, even everywhere in the world. Slang names are confusing, say for instance, I found a beefsteak. ( The latin name is Gyromitra esculenta ) There are several mushrooms called beefsteaks, Fistulina hepatica is commonly called a beefsteak, Gyromitras are called beefsteaks , and of course a nice porterhouse is called a beefsteak. So people use Latin names so there is no room for error.It's a pain learning though.

@Dhragonfly Where did you come up with that ? I published it on Jan. 9, 2009 I filmed it earlier in the fall of 08

@grifola @ 3:39 the footage itself; the dating on the camera says 'Sept. 9, 2000'

@Dhragonfly You know what, you are correct ! I don't know what I was thinking . This year we have had a mushroom season like that year. It's been the best season since then. All the weather conditions have been really good. We had a small hot spell and then cool, wet weather. Perfact for mushrooms.

Nice video! How do you prepare your L. Thyinos? I have a huge patch in my woods but I've never cooked any of them.

@grifola thanks for your information and  time . I think , I need to get a field guide .

@grifola =D maybe there's some sort of pattern where, every 10 years there is a growth spurt of some sort (for mushrooms)..or the rate of decomposure of the forest in which you pick them from. anyways, Michigan isn't all that far from Ontario, in Canada..I wonder how the pickings are in this area. maybe we've got some good mushrooms north of the border too?
