California Farm Pickled Mushrooms
Our favorite mushroom pickling is spring mushrooms in taragon with fennel herb vinegar and then preserving in lemon grass oil. They taste delicious all year with cheese and crackers, and avocado sandwiches. This recipe explains how we make this herbal vinegar and lemon grass oil at home. Takes one hour. The vinegar and oil stay beautiful all year if you keep them in green glass bottles in the dark.
Mushrooms are sprouting six weeks after the first winter rains. You pick them in the woods, grow them in the window or buy them in the store. To grow them at home, see my mushroom growing kit recipes in here.

Seperate out the laurel leaves. Put drained mushrooms in sterilized mason jars. Cover mushrooms with a full layer of the pickled laurel leaves. They help preserve the taste of the mushrooms better. Carefully pour lemongrass oil on top so oil can fill any airpockets, and laurel leaves are fully submerged.
