"Lobster" Mushrooms




It is the first day of autumn and we had some scattered showers overnight. 
We found lots of "Lobster Fungus" mushrooms all over the property today. 




The fungus is technically not a mushroom, but a parasite that feeds on mushrooms. Whatever it is, it's delicious, with a mild "seafood" flavor and firm texture (and it does look like a cooked lobster!)  I found a few rissoto recipes on the internet, but a quick saute in butter yielded great results.
