Just a 'silly' question I guess....

I find that I am eating a lot of mushrooms these days and just wondered how you guys out there might prepare them.

Oyster mushroom et al, I just wash and cook... but how do you do Portobello mushrooms? I have always peeled them first as the skin seems very tough..... by peeling them do I take away all the nutrients? Most other species I just wash.......(unless they are getting old and wrinkly like myself! )

hhmmmm would like your opinion(s)........

Of course, this also begs the question... do you eat the brocolli stalks also? I do... I think it is the best part actually!

May the roof above us never fall in, and the many friends gathered below it never fall out.

Not muchmushroom knowledge out there......it seems
Yes i eat the stalks.
Stalks are interesting, i once grew a globe artichoke that had one foot (yes 12 inches, 300mm) of stalk below the globe that tasted just like the globe itself. Yum-bloody-Yum.

Problem is with globes that they do not reproduce true to type (same as humans really) so i could not save the seeds with any hope of getting a similar crop. that was in Tasmania and there was a proliferation of wild radish and wild brassica from the "pioneer" days. It meant that everywhere one walked there were spicy edible flower heads just waiting to be nibbled at.
So enjoyable when the whole world outside the door is your garden...
