Used to think they were gross when I was a kid but now I can tear em up esp when cooked down with some butter and peppers

I only ever get mine at the supermarket, so I look for the ones that are reduced for quick sale as they are the ones with any flavor.

The price was lowered. Same thing as "on sale".

Yeah, but why would that make them have more flavor?

For me: gently roasted. Low and slow.

Mushrooms develop flavor as they aged.

And the discounted merchandise is usually that which has been sitting on the shelf for a while and they're trying to clear it out before it spoils. Therefore buying about-to-expire mushrooms is a double win: they taste stronger, and they cost less.

Beautiful. Thanks to my interest in mycology that started with p. cubensis, I'm working toward making a business out of growing gourmet legal mushrooms.

Ah, okay.
I usually try to eat the ones I buy as soon as possible so they don't spoil since I don't use too many on a single dish, I mostly use them to improve sandwiches for breakfast.

Roasted sliced or whole?
