Hello it is me - Delicious Mushroom. Please remove the water content from me that is holding back my true potential of both flavor and texture. Thank you for listening.
all I ever do is fry them in a saucepan with a tiny bit of olive oil and butter, low heat, lid on. At some mysterious moment which changes each attempt the mushroom turns absolutely wonderful but I swear to fucking god it's impossible to identify when

>>22060357 Actually is edible but they're small and slimy. So not worth it.

>>22060379 Chicken of the woods is a pretty decent choice and I would say easily recognisable. Good choice.
Anyone have that timelapse webm/gif/mp4 of a mushroom shooting up and then suddenly dropping an intricate net-like veil down to the ground? It's similar to the one in this photo but might not be the same species.
>>22059898 >How do you remove water? cook them. what I do is cook them in a little bit of water first before letting all of the mushroom water boil off before frying them in oil. if you fry them in oil immediately you'll end up needing to add even more oil afterwards.
>>22061978 Thank you, that's a very nice webm too. The one I was thinking of started with just the mushroom's tip peeking above ground level, then shooting up and to the right, and then dropping the veil starting from no veil at all.
>>22062545 I don't know if anyone knows. Google's AI comes up with some uses but unless you believe in Intelligent Design the only thing anyone can say is "because evolution".
Visual Attraction: The lacy white or yellow "skirt" makes the mushroom highly visible against the dark forest floor, catching the eyes of passing insects.
Insect Accessibility: The indusium drapes outward, acting as a crawling "ladder" for non-flying insects to climb up directly to the spore mass.
Odor Distribution: The mushroom’s cap is covered in a sticky, olive-brown spore slime called the gleba, which emits a pungent, rotting-flesh smell meant to mimic carrion. The indusium may help catch or diffuse this scent into the air to draw in insects from further away.
>>22064322 When I went to Yellowstone, I stayed in a room they called a "primitive cabin" (IIRC). It wasn't really all that primitive, even had a heater and a shower, but anyway. When I left and the cleaners came in to prepare the place for the next "campers", they were laughing and pointing at mushrooms growing around the toilet and shower.
So I guess that's a thing.
No, I didn't try to eat them.

>>22061767 >>22061978 >>22063297 Just found out that not only are these edible, but the Chinese cultivate them because they think these are a delicacy. And there's even a shop selling spores online. %-/
