My first time finding lobster mushrooms! A nice patch of them was on a path I walk several times a week. I picked the biggest ones and left some smaller ones that are still growing. I plan on checking back in a couple days.

I learned today that lobster mushrooms are actually a parasitic fungus!

Anyone have any recipe suggestions?

It’s both that they’re the color of cooked lobster, and they have a mild seafood flavor like lobster. They even smell pleasantly and mildly of seafood!
