RE: Jelly Ear - A slimy fungus with an interesting story to tell
H-m-m! I'll have to go looking for it next summer when I'm in the southern part of the province. Elms don't grow up north here.
So glad you broke through your dislike for their taste enough so you were willing to try something new and that you could pass that interesting suggestion to try adding them to Asian dishes, like Nabe, on to us. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, I am glad too. I have now found many other ways in which to cook this mushroom but they are all quite similar. Most of them involve soups and broths. Probably because they don't have much taste! I always look for them in the winter because there are generally not so many of the 'choice edibles' around to be distracted with!
Ha!
Do they have a slimy texture too?
I do like Asian soups and other mushroom soups. I'll have to try making some if I find any not so choice mushrooms.
I generally saute the edible mushrooms I find with butter and garlic.
That is the best way to cook most mushrooms!
