I like to boil them in hot water for ten minutes and then strain out the mushrooms.

Make tea or hot chocolate with the hot water and then lay on my floor for a few hours staring at the ceiling and talking to myself.

Outside of that, pan fried works well with most mushrooms and in most dishes. Just don’t overcrowd the pan and learn to dry fry some species (lions mane for instance).

It’s a bit complicated, but Lion’s Mane po boys are yummy. Lion’s Mane risotto is also excellent.

Most other mushrooms you can substitute for beef (shiitake and buttons) or chicken (chick of the woods).

They all are excellent with eggs too!
