Title: Quite the mushroom year-what to do with lobsters?
Post by: Westside88 on October 13, 2024, 02:21:53 PM: We picked a few Chantrelles today and I also have what I’m fairly certain are lobster mushrooms. Two people that know more about them than I do confirmed. Anyway, I’m not sure the best way to use the lobsters. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated

I made a lobster mushroom bisque soup a few years back that was pretty good as well. I don't have the recipe handy but I do remember it had vodka in it and it was a little too heavy on the vodka for me.
