Wait!
Do you remove the stem of the mushroom if you're cooking something with mushrooms?

>> No.11850885

depends on the mushroom

>> No.11850887

>>11850881
Only if I cook them on the BBQ
I replace the stem with a chunk of Camembert, sprinkle with salt, pepper, parsley

>> No.11850888

>>11850881
depends, on bigger or older mushrooms it can be a bit tough, but on smaller ones it's usually fine to leave it on

I just remove a really thin portion of it, and only if its discoloured in any way.

>> No.11852499

If its dirty I sometimes remove the stem and peel the skin off them.

But if the quality of the mushroom is good then just use it.

These are the wrong mushrooms. They should be psilocybe.

Why the actual fuck would you ever do that?

But the stem's the best part.

>> No.11856270

>>11850881
Why would I waste a good bit of it? Especially if I'm slicing or mincing them and it makes no difference?

>> No.11856337

>>11850881
Depends on the mushroom/dish but if you're cooking a mushroom where you don't want the stem in the dish you can freeze them to make soup stock later.

>> No.11856372

I cut off the stems and eat them fresh, they're the best part. I cook the rest.
