We bought these babies at the Saturday farmers market from the mushroom lady. She called the Black Pearls and they cost about the same as filet mignon. My wife has watched some vegan cooking videos and gave it a try. She cooked it in a cast iron using another skillet and a pot of water as a weight. It was delicious, with a little practice, I could see this as a viable meat alternative. I grilled up some burgers in case the experiment was an expensive failure. Mine was a green chile cheeseburger; my wife took hers plain and made a mushroom burger. I ate the mushrooms as a side.

I love mushrooms. There are many varieties and I never get tired of them. I could never skip the meat, but there is always room for more veggies.

Mushrooms are amazing. I love them. Enjoyed a portabella grilled up last week with the fam, definitely a worthy ingredient.
They look delicious.
Will be foraging the local mountains for chanterelles soon enough. My favourite and plentiful.

Those look delicious.
I experimented a lot with mushrooms when I was younger. Not so much now that I have kids and a career and stuff.
Dang!
Mushrooms are delicious! So is meat ... so for me, no need to seek one to be a substitute for the other.
... but to each his own, and I'm glad you enjoyed your dinner!
Pine Mushrooms are popping up now in the Skeena Valley in secret spots intrepid foragers have in the forests around here. The "mushroom depots" are paying the pickers $12 CAD a pound depending on the 'grade' of mushroom they are... a pittance compared to the final price per lb when they reach Japan via Vancouver. I have never tried picking or eating 'em myself though. Those Black Pearls are a type of oyster mushroom. Very easy to grow and available as kits and 'spawn' for home growing your own 'shrooms. Check the intercyberweb for "mushroom growing kits" on a search engine and that should steer you to a close by vendor.
Never even considered growing mushrooms. That's a great idea.
