_Matsutake mushrooms are very rare- they grow in the roots of red pine forests. matsutake are harvested just once a year, and are very sensitive to changes in weather: if a season is too hot or dry, their numbers will wane and that pushes up the prices_

[@wingnutbert9685]

You can totally clean them under running water. That's just some urban legend/ old wives tale saying you can't. Run them under the tap and use a soft tooth brush. They come out perfect. AND.... you can freeze them, raw. Japanese method is wrap them really tight in tinfoil and keep them in a zip bag in the freezer. They are one of the few that can be frozen uncooked.

Never had matsutake. Just discovered maitake this year and am having a ball growing them.

[@SilvaDreams]

They taste kind of woody because of where and how they grow.. Not a big fan of them but their big draw is because of the short season and the inability to cultivate them.

Taku just made a $25 mushroom burger that I know people here would pay. Why doesnt he just open his own high end fast food restaurant? All of his videos are pretty much fast food inspired anyway.

Because he enjoys cooking for himself and for the entertainment of others online rather than do a scheduled rush. I'm sure he has a job and does this on the side

Off of a quick search you can get (grade 1) fresh for 50 a pound so there is something that drives the price up somewhere, maybe the time of the year or region its grown.

David found most of them so I wouldn't make much😆 Also, we usually never find this many, we got lucky this day.

I can almost imagine what those mushrooms smell like right out of the ground. Respect for the brown sugar, and you blew my mind when you mixed some of that oil into the bowl! Keep up the great work. I also wanted to share a story about when my dad would take me to the fields in the fall after the harvest, and we would pick white button mushrooms and look for puff balls. To this day there are times when I drive by a field and I can smell that extra earthy aroma of mushrooms in the soil drifting over the road.

[@pkendall99]

Why don't you cut them, like everybody else so that they can grow back?

[@modyosman5059]

Don't worry the mushroom its self is just temporary, they have a large underground structure/mycelium which keeps them growing back.
