How We Cook Mushrooms

We love our go-to mushroom prep: chop or tear roughly and sautee alongside garlic and onion in butter or olive oil, then season with pepper or our other favorite herbs such as thyme and basil.

After cooking we add them to scrambled eggs, put over a salad of asian greens such as joi choi, or toss with pasta.

There are a ton of amazing ways to cook mushrooms as well! Here are a few of our go-to recipes:

Dried Oyster Mushrooms

A few ideas on how to use dehydrated oysters after rehydrating by pouring very hot water over them:

  • Add directly to soups

  • Drain (save the liquid) then chop into a paste in a food processor. Add paste to risotto, pasta, shepherd’s pie, etc

  • Roast in the over for a crispy burger topping

Lion’s Mane

Method 1: Roasted

- Cube, toss with herbs, roast in 425 oven on baking sheet until chewy ~30 min

Method 2: Sauteed

Favorite Oyster Mushroom Recipes:

  • Mushroom & Stilton Galette

    • https://smittenkitchen.com/2006/10/wild-mushroom-stilton-galette/

    • This recipe uses both fresh and dried oyster mushrooms. It’s delicious with every mushroom we grow! The crust is really quick to knock together, we used a food processor to cut in the butter.

  • Shepherd’s Pie

    • Note - We used a mix of oyster and pioppino mushrooms and added in a paste made from rehydrated dried mushrooms as well (chopped in a food processor)

Black Knight

We love the black knight mushroom! They’re like a small king trumpet (also known as a black pearl) that has incredible texture and taste. Try these recipes!
