What kind of mushrooms are you going to try with this? The original recipe looks like button mushrooms or something.

I just learned that button, cremini, and portobello are all the same mushroom type, just at different stages of life. Whoa. :exploding_head:

I wonder if I could try this with a mix of button, cup, portobello, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms. And then instead of ranch, maybe just an aioli and a mix of herbs. :leaves:

And now I just learned that cups are button mushrooms which have grown to a stage where the cap is beginning to open, and some gills can be seen. Whoa. :exploding_head:

My mushroom lore skill is rapidly levelling up today, thanks to you, @Amethyst. :joy:

White button mushrooms are what are recommended. I bet any would taste good though.

Glad I could make you interested in mushrooms, @starborn! You should talk to Bry, she’s the Mushroom Queen around here!

I didn’t know mushrooms got their own month- this is so cool! Thank you for an extra special recipe, @Amethyst- now I need to go get myself some mushrooms to cook with! :laughing: :basket: :two_hearts:

Awwww I’m blushing! :blush: Although I don’t know if I’m worthy of the title Queen, maybe just Mushroom Squire as this point haha. Still have a long, long way to go in the world of mycology and mush-studies :laughing: :open_book:

On the one hand, I’m slightly embarrassed by how much these mushroom dances look like the ones I randomly break out into at home, @BryWisteria. :joy:

On the other hand, I’m totally vibin’ with them. :mushroom: :sparkles:

My quality control assistant and I are so ready for some mushroom shenanigans! :sparkles:

I’m thinking of combining aspects of the above recipe with this one, Slow Cooked Herbed Mushrooms, for the smaller mushrooms because I love overloading everything with more herbs. :joy:

And do something similar to this, Oven-Roasted Portobello Mushrooms, with the larger ones. I might just skip the bread crumbs.

:heart_eyes:

I just have to wait for my partner to wake up so they’re not missing out. They love mushrooms as well. :mushroom:
