@fascinatedbyfungi: King Trumpet Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii) are big solid meaty mushrooms with a mild flavor. Usually I buy them at Asian grocery stores, but they can be easily grown at home using a mushroom kit. I got mine from NorthSpore, use c0de FASCINATEDBYFUNGI for 10 % off your order. This time lapse was filmed over ~5 days as they went from small pins to big chonky mushrooms. They do not have a strong flavor on their own, but take over the flavor of sauces and marinades well. I especially like using a knife to create a cross -hatch pattern on these, then searing them hard to develop delicious browning/umami. You can use this technique on cross sections of the thick stem to make vegan “scallops”. What a delicious mushroom, try growing your own at home! . #kingtrumpet #oystermushroom #pleurotuseryngii #mushroomkit #growyourown #spreadthespore
