cauliflower fungus

[rowen]

Anyone got any recipes or advice on how best to cook it?

 

[Harvestman]

For most edible fungi slice it up and fry with garlic and olive oil is usually a satisfactory method, unless it is very soft. It isn't a species I've ever seen though.

Sparassis Soup

haven't found any sparassis radicata (spelled wrong I am sure) in years.
very excellent eating and quite pretty if you cut it across, it looks like lace! Makes excellent tempura or just fried in olive oil.
enjoy!!

A couple of sprigs of fresh thyme always go's well with mushrooms, as does wild garlic

I found a few really good ones last year, but none so far this year sadly. I made a cauliflower (mushroom) cheese from it, based ona recipe from the River Cottage Handbook of mushrooms. Was really nice and would do it again for sure!
