I found this nice looking COTW while kayaking the other day growing on a downed tree in the middle of the river.

    I agree, but a well cooked mushroom will provide you with the right texture. The seasoning and browning will provide flavor.

    I’ve cooked oyster mushrooms that tasted a lot like scallops, but if you search for it, the mushroom taste is there. I guess my friend is just more sensitive to it. Doesn’t keep him from foraging, cooking, and enjoying them.

    The ones I’ve tried that have a stronger good flavor in addition to mushroom flavor are chestnut mushrooms and chanterelles. A++.

      I’ve never tried chestnut mushrooms before. Chanterelles are excellent though, I really enjoy their natural spicyness, kind of a peppery sort of flavor.
