Porcini shrooms from Italia courtesy of a foodie friend from Hungary. I shall use them with the porcini-truffle cream sauce. #umami

Stuffed with garlic-herb cream cheese

Stir-fry assorted mushrooms with beansprouts.

spinach, feta and tofu patties coated with almonds and sesame, served with asparagus and a mushroom plum sauce

Not bad, but I would not have thought this to be kimchi-tasting.

Fried shrooms

Adapted from another recipe based on ingredients I had on hand.

Virtually everything in this had to be consumed lest they laid waste to transformers.

First time trying sea cucumber (or taking note of it). It was interesting but not exactly mind-blowing. The Chinese mushroom was good though.

Dehydrated and over-salted. 😖 Not worth $20.
