These mushrooms have a smooth velvety feel and are meaty, similar in density to the King Oyster. They hold up beautifully in just about any dish, with a
earthy flavor and delicate texture. They are sent to be milder in flavor that, their wild counter part, but I found them fully flavorful with a deep
woodsy aroma.
Since I can not resist grabbing a variety of fresh goodies, I though these gorgeous red apples would add a wonderful texture along with a bit of extra sweetness.
