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.

From a recipe in the Mushroom Cookbook edited by Nicola Hill (Mitchell Beazley:1994) I used a pint jar for this, and halved the amount of mushrooms to serve two, for a light lunch, mezze or side salad.

I got some requests for easier ways to make big batches of cooked vegetables to use in other dishes, so I came up with this. It's really convenient to buy lots of mushrooms and marinate them since you'll have them on hand.Of course, these are good in pasta or salads. They're really good for kenchin soups or simmered dishes too!Remove the stems from the mushrooms, and pull them apart without washing them. If you wash them, they'll get soggy. If they're dirty, you can lightly wipe them off with a paper towel. Feel free to use olive oil instead of vegetable oil, if that's what you'd prefer. The dish will turn out delicious either way. Please adjust the amount of pepper to taste. Recipe by Hokutokinoko

"Marinated Mushrooms"by Hokuto Kinoko to make a recipe for a savory pound cake (I reduced oil to the minimum, added more flavors, etc.) and this is the modified recipe.1) Don't wash the mushrooms before use (they will lose their flavor). 2) Don't soak the mushrooms in water after blanching (they become watery and don't blend well with oil). 3) Cool slowly so that their flavor seeps into the oil. This dish is more delicious if you leave them at room temperature and cool naturally. Recipe by tearstar

This is a pickling delicacy to serve guests as appetizers for dinner. Chanterelles are quick boiled in herb vinegar, marinaded overnight, and served to guests. They can also be dried or marinaded and preserved in olive oil with laurel leaves. You can use this recipe for any other fresh mushrooms as well.Mushrooms concentrate their taste when dried. Here is the easy way to dry them and reconstitute.#GlobalApron

Time Saving Tip: Hollow the mushrooms and dice the stems the previous day

I've been making this ever since I started living on my own (about 20 years ago), so I don't even remember how this recipe came about. The marinade may be on the "sour" side. I always change the amounts or add spices and so forth depending on my mood, so the recipe isn't really fixed. It's delicious with a little ginger or garlic added, and herbs, chili peppers and curry powder work too. You can use bottled salad dressing as the marinade instead.Please use mushrooms of your choice. This is delicious made with shimeji, shiitake or maitake mushrooms too! It's better if you combine 2 to 3 types of mushrooms rather than using just one.Since the marinade contains vinegar, it keeps well, so it's handy to make a big batch at once.You can just microwave mushrooms in a heatproof container and store them as-is. For 2 to 4 servings. Recipe by Mitsuzou

I love making these one bite explosions of flavor ppl can't resist these mushrooms are just that I hope you guys love them

I have been making this stuffed mushroom recipe for years now and is one of our favorite mushroom sides. Stuffing is rich, creamy and awesome! Pictured above as a side with beef tenderloin with a red wine reduction sauce and mashed potatoes.

Really simple to make and tastes yummy.

I love mushrooms, and I keep on experimenting with them. I came across this appetiser in an Indian wedding and I decided to cook it at home. And wallah...! I reached almost there!

I wanted to cook a dish that can be prepared in bulk.Use as much mushrooms as you prefer.It is delicious to eat as it is, but you could also top it on chilled tofu or toss into a salad.It'll keep in the fridge for 1 week.Add powdered dried sardines (about 2 tablespoons) for a boost of calcium.
