20g of Dried, wild harvested Lobster mushrooms from USA.
The Lobster mushroom, aptly named for its delightful seafood aroma and flavour is a highly sought after treat. Firm, chunky flesh when rehydrated, which lends itself nicely to frying in batter or cooking in soups. Typically served in combination with or as a replacement for seafood such as lobster or crab.
The Lobster mushroom is in fact a parasitic fungus, which engulfs Lactarius mushrooms. Without the parasite the original mushroom is of little culinary interest, however once transformed by the brilliant red crust it becomes a very desirable mushroom.
All mushrooms must be cooked prior to consumption.
