    How To Cook Mushrooms : GF Video

    by Eric · This post may contain affiliate links, its one way we pay the bills. · 4 Comments

    Learn how to cook mushrooms in our latest foraging - mushroom identification video. We made a oyster mushroom identification video, and people asked us to show how to cook mushrooms, so here is our mushroom cooking video!

    The oyster mushrooms we use here were cultivated mushrooms, and you can grow your own mushrooms, here's post about growing mushrooms here, but we bought these at the food coop. In the growing season you can go mushroom hunting, but be sure to learn from an experience mushroom foraging person, and bring your mushroom identification books with you. Below are a few of the mushroom books we like and use.

    To clean mushrooms, I just brush them off with a towel, you can also wash them, but its not always necessary, I feel, but you should do what you want, because you're going to do that anyway...

    Butter, Salt, & Pepper are the key ingredients in this simple sauted mushroom recipe, and the cast iron pan is great for cooking mushrooms, holds heat nicely and its evenly distributed too.

    You can store mushrooms in your fridge or a cool basement, I keep them in a paper bag that's not closed tight. Plastic bags will cause the mushrooms to go bad quickly, I think. Also when you are foraging for mushrooms, bring along a few paper bags, its the best way to store them while you hike around, IMHO.

    Below is my favorite book I use for mushroom identification, let me know any other suggestions you have in the comments below:

      I agree with the camera operator! Herbs are always a required when cooking mushrooms. Esp. Rosemary

      hi eric. i was wondering if people can 'seed' mushrooms on the tree or ground ,or near by area, where they are usually found so there is more than usual the next year?is there a specific time of year that they drop spores?

      Eric,
      Cooking them in butter is the only way to go. We like to add onion's or chopped shoallots, they just seam to go together. They aer outstanding with a good steak.
