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?

Does these mushrooms taste like lobster the same way chicken of the woods tastes like chicken?

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!

They're actually super good if you grill them with a steak, just slice em up and cook them in the steak fat and butter when you baste.

Grilling and basting? Are you grilling them in a pan of some kind?

Correct. I usually do it with cast iron.
