people really don't know what's good for them

I have never had chanterelles but I'm gonna go hunting for them soon. I hope I find some.

>>12906412
>porcini

My man, nothing beats a tagliata with porcini and...

>>12906399
Can't say I cared much for them, flavor wasn't that appealing, and they were oddly chewy. Maybe it was just the ones I ate.
I do really like white button mushrooms a lot though, and I haven't tried much else, so I figure there has to be many others out there worth trying.

Ingredients for 4 people

300 gr of carnaroli rice
40 gr of dried porcini mushrooms
1/2 liter of vegetable broth
2 small shallots
70 grams of butter
chopped parsley
1 glass of white wine or prosecco
grated Parmesan cheese
extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste.
Method

How to cook a risotto with dried porcini mushrooms

1. Preparation of the vegetable broth: Put the water in a pan, 1 onion, 1 carrot, a stick of celery, salt and let it boil for about 15 minutes; at the end of cooking we filter the broth that we will use to cook our risotto. Remember: we will add salt only in the broth and not in direct contact with the rice;

2. Preparation of the risotto: In the meantime let's soak our dried porcini mushrooms for about 15 minutes in warm water; then we trifoliate them in a pot (where we will then go to cook the risotto) together with two tablespoons of oil, the shallot, the chopped parsley and a little of their water that has served to make them resume and a pinch of salt, letting it cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat. At the end we turn off the heat and set them aside.

3. We prepare the base of our risotto: put in the same pot of first 50 g of butter, two strands of oil, the other chopped shallot and let it fry for about 5 minutes; then add the rice, toast it for another 5 minutes, then add the wine and let it evaporate for another 5 minutes;

4. Now add the previously cooked mushrooms and a couple of ladlefuls of broth. The cooking will be completed when the rice has absorbed all the broth;

5. Creaming the risotto: when cooked, turn off the heat, add the rest of the chopped parsley, the butter and the grated Parmesan.

Before serving, let the risotto rest for at least 30 seconds.

Recipe for any risotto:
- keep broth boiling in a pot (needs to be hot)
- very finely chop onion, fry in butter on very low for a few minutes
- increase flame, add arborio rice, stir for a minute
- add white wine, stir until most of liquid is gone
- keep adding hot broth and stirring until rice is al dente. only add another batch of broth (half a cup at most each time) when there's almost no liquid in the pan
- when rice is done (for the love of god don't overcook it), turn off the heat, put in more butter and grated cheese of choice (pecorino or parmigiano), put lid on for 2 minutes
- then taste it and season if needed (salt and pepper), serve with something green on top (e.g. finely copped parsley)

This is plan white risotto. To make it a mushroom risotto, fry mushrooms with onion in the second step.

>>12906652
sounds like a massive pain in the ass for not much return

>>12906659
if you know how to do it it takes only 20min for a really good dish

>>12906659
Actually it's like 20 minutes to make, only pain in the ass is that you need to keep stirring it. But I think payoff is really amazing, good risotto is awesome even if it's just plain white risotto with nothing added. If you put in wild mushrooms (porcini, chanterelle or any other really), asparagus or seafood - it's out of this world.

>>12906659
Its very easy to make and you can put anything in it, so its a great way to get rid of leftover meat/vegetables.

I'll try it sometime.

>>12906606
LOL no. Oysters are definitely not superior to Chanterelles you fucking inbred mongrel.

>>12906399
Shiitake

>>12906696
this man knows the truth, not necessarily on taste, but the texture of hedgehog blows chartrelles out of the water imo

>>12906659
A good risotto is a fucking exquisite experience, my man.

these little bastards, especially pickled.

>>12906652
So did you rehydrate the porcini then fry with the onion?

for me, its these

>>12906399
mushrooms dont have a taste

>>12907735

I want to go mushrooming how do i start

>>12907835
Go into the woods, pick mushrooms. Go home and wash them lightly. Then, sample the various mushrooms you found. Take note of which ones kill you and which do not.

>>12907847
Actually wait. Don't do that. You do not want to wash the mushrooms. Instead, clean the dirt off them with a brush.

>>12907847
Hmm dont want to die i live in oregon and i guess people go around for morels which are prety tasty but theyre all super secretive about their locations or want me to pay money to be in a club. I just want to pick morels AND not die

>>12906399
>Name a tastier mushroom than chanterelle.
Shiitake master race report in!

>>12907855
The edible morel can only really be confused with one other mushroom (another morel, poisonous), so once you figure out how to distinguish between them, just go out and look for them.

>>12906399
King oyster.

>>12906942
You stupid fuck I posted the instructions here >>12906635

>>12906399
I foraged a bunch of chanterelle this summer, to preserve it I baked it at 200 for several hours with the door partially open, when they are perfectly dry and lightly toasted they taste like bacon. If they are not perfectly dry then they taste like a good mushroom but not at all bacony

>>12906399
Never had it. How does it taste?

>>12907855
>I just want to pick morels AND not die

Morels are nearly impossible to confuse with other species, they look super unique. So unique that you could get a 100% confidence ID from a single photo posted online. Also, those are a spring mushroom found at previous year forest fires. Right now you should be looking for Chanterelles, chicken, hedgehog, cauliflower, etc

>go to a local park after seeing the thread about mushroom hunting
>barely any mushrooms
>only ones are rotten, white, or purple
>probably poisonous
That was a waste of 2 hours. My calves ached like hell that night walking 8 miles back and forth

>>12906399
Maitake, shiitake, porcini, blewits, morels, and matsutake. That wasn't hard.

>>12906458
Why are fungi being served as the veggie dish? Fungi are not plants.

What are some cool mushroom names?
I gotta name a bunch of liches in dnd and need a theme.

By God it's a league of lich-themed supervillains.

Contestants on Top Chef always say it takes an hour at least and they always get eliminated when they make it because it's so difficult...

>>12907868
False morels can be eaten, but they have to be dried, then boiled and rinsed repeatedly (at least 3 times) in order for then to become edible. They're a naturally occurring source of hydrazine, and that shit is insanely toxic.

These bad boys right here are to die for. One taste will send you straight to heaven, they're so good.

>>12907854
Pure fuddlore. There is nothing wrong with rinsing your mushrooms.

I like both chantarelle and porcini, but my number one for taste and texture is THIS.

>>12906453
I picked thousands of these in my life, my favorite.

Same, unfortunately they're hard to find for me, because they blend in perfectly on the forest floor where I normally look for them, so I only know one spot.
Got any tips for finding them?

>>12906399
>>12906449

Where do you find these bastards?

>>12911994
Heathlandish mossy pine forests, but it depends where you are in the world I guess.

Ontario, Canada.

>>12912055
Then ye, go look in mossy/grassy pine forests.
Usually helps to stray from paths because they get picked empty quickly.

>>12907862
Naah she says the stems are bad therefore the mushroom is bad.

For me it’s oyster mushrooms.

>>12913182
I grew golden oyster mushrooms once, made the nicest mushroom soup I've ever had out of them.

>>12913208
>>12913182
Do they taste anything like oysters?

mushrooms are fucking disgusting. the rich tricked themselves into eating fungus to feel superior

>>12913277
I've never tried them because they're fungus. I always wonder if I'm missing out, but then I remember that they look disgusting and may be taking over the world so I'd rather not ingest them on purpose.

>>12913277
That's funny, because I can get fresh white button mushrooms for real cheap, son.
Just a dollar or two gives me LOTS of them.

>>12906458
>why aren't people buying a vegetable dish that has no vegetables in it

>>12914813
Vegetarian, not vegetable.
Unless vegetarians have some fucking hangup about fungus I don't know.

Tastier mushroom? I like them all, but I guess you would prefer the Hairy Nuts Disco.

>>12914923
It's a hot topic among vegans/vegetarians. Fungi are completely unrelated to plants and are actually the sister clade to animals making them their closest living relatives.

>>12906399
I struggle with mushrooms by and large. I really don't like them, but I want to like them. Any suggestions for one that would go well say... sauteed with a nice pasta or something like that?

>>12915561
Porcinis, champignons, portobellos or oysters are all pretty inoffensive in terms of flavour and would go well in a creamy pasta sauce. Chanterelles are nice, but strong in flavour and aromatic, so maybe you wont like those.

You can also make blended mushroom soups if the texture is off-putting to you.

>>12915537
Yeah, I figured it would be something fucking retarded like that.

What are some good recipes for those french chicks?

>>12913277
> the rich tricked themselves into eating fungus to feel superior
You are so ignorant it is funny. Mushrooms are a food of the people, they grow by the thousands out of the ground all around you. Just take some time to research your local mushroom species and you'll realize you've been passing up hundreds of pounds of free delicious food for years.
