Crimini Mushrooms Growing

procedure
1. oil and heat your heat your pan on a medium flame.
2. add mushrooms, salt and pepper, watch and stir regularly for a few to several minutes until they have browned to desired consistency, releasing a certain amount of water.
enjoy! serve sautéed crimini mushrooms over rice, baked red garnet yam (or a simple baked russet), a meat, fowl, or fish entrée, in a grilled panini with other vegetables - combining beautifully with eggplant or zucchini. Or simply put your mushrooms in a sandwich with greens, tomato, top with a sharp or mild cheese (your preference), put in the oven or grill for a few moments to melt the cheese on top and hold the ingredients together. your sautéed crimini mushrooms are also lovely to add to a simple pasta tossed in egg sauce as blogged here or here, combining with any of those ingredients, or as an alternate. You can top any number of soups with our versatile sautéed friend - for example - miso, onion, or a simple chicken or beef broth. And sure, we love sautéed crimini mushrooms on pizzas, whether you improve on an easy ready-made, or create everything from scratch. lest i forget - add them to this baguette and sausage combination, also as blogged earlier, or your food of antiquity omelette (add a little more oil when your mushrooms are finished, and then add your egg et al).
other stuff
many eatable mushrooms can be substituted here, though cooking time and preparation may vary. mushrooms can also be foraged in the wild. wiki reports mushroom foraging popular in "most of Europe, including the Nordic, Baltic, and Slavic countries and the Mediterranean Basin, as well as in Australia, Japan, Korea, Canada, and the northwestern, Midwestern and Appalachian United States."
if you are interested in foraging wild mushrooms, seek expert advice as some varieties are poisonous and not always quickly distinguished from the safer kind. some folks have workshops, taking people out to forage in groups, and there are wild mushroom foraging clubs and forums.
