witches eggs [stinkhorns]

[xylaria]

Nope we aren't kidding

Here are the witches eggs before prepping. They have a papery coat over the gelatinous slime.

The slime and papery coat are removed to reveal a black and white inner.

the black inner can be eaten

or be peeled off to to reveal the firm white core.

We then fried it in butter.

and here is the final cooked stinkhorns.



The taste isn't mushroomy, it is more like pignuts. and the texture is like water chesnuts
