Bruce Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 I found a Meripilus giganteus yesterday (see photo) but have never eaten one. If anyone has a good recipe please advise. I'm told they can be rather stringy but this one looks young and is [hopefully] relatively tender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhuntington Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 I have eaten them when young and they are good. I deep fried them in drakes batter mix after cutting it into roughly 1 inch squares. To check them to see if they are tender enough to use i cut them with a plasic butter knife, if it doesnt cut it easily then its to old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Posted July 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Mushroom dinner last night. As recommended, we batter-dipped and fried some of the Meripilus along with a Laetiporus that I collected on the same foray. As expected, several pieces were a little chewy...but the flavor was good. I would definitely eat it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
