This mushroom has been a victim of mycological cannibalism! Originally either a Russula or Lactarius mushroom, it has been inhabited by the parasitic Hypomyces mushroom consuming its exterior and altering (but also dramatically improving) its appearance and flavor.

When reconstituted, lobster mushrooms are great for sautéing. Lobsters are versatile and absorb the flavor of the dishes they are used in making them easily interchangeable for other mushrooms. To use as fresh, reconstitute by simmering in water for 15-20 minutes, drain or reserve liquid for further use. Dried mushrooms keep much longer than fresh, and because these are expensive, dried are great choices for your kitchen.
