Blew my mind when I first had it. I obviously ate portabella from the grocery store, and puffballs a couple times. But when my partner found a bunch of chickens, it really changed my perspective on how mushrooms even could taste. Really kicked my foraging into overdrive.
Do you do anything to improve pollination? There are massive groves all around me, but since they are clonal colonies, they don't self-pollinate, and I always have to hunt around for whatever groves actually got pollinated. I've read that some people will spray trees with fish emulsion to lure in flies.
I've had it a bunch of times and maybe I just haven't made it right or it was too mature, but I never enjoyed it too much. Oyster mushrooms, on the other hand.
When it's young, it's dripping wet when you cut it, and it cooks up really well. When it gets too old, it gets almost like an overcooked chicken breast texture. You also should cook it same day you get it, otherwise it will either dry out too much, if you store it in a too well ventilated space, or too slimy if you bag it.
