Do you know your mushrooms? I only prepare and eat edible mushrooms we bought from the supermarket. I like the portobello mushrooms and the white button mushrooms. I use mushrooms as an edible meal in different way of how its been cooked: saute' with just plain mushrooms on hot frying pan with butter and squeeze lemon or lime and that's simple way of having it for simple meal and the flavor is tantalizing already. What more if you use mushrooms as added flavors for stir fry with veggies. Add mushrooms to your favorite Italian spaghetti or any rotini- spaghetti style dish. Plain saute' mushrooms as garnishing for your delicious beef steak (grilled or barbecued). Mushrooms are also great for Mexican wraps of any kind. You can use mushrooms for added value for any dish with coconut milk. Don't forget that mushrooms are also great for fried rice.
You can add mushrooms in your hot soup, sauces, and noodles of all kinds. For the vegetarians, mushrooms are great alternative for meat.
