I wanted to thank you guys again for confirming my guess. I dry-sauteed them with a little butter last night, and they are by far the best mushrooms I have ever had. I was a little concerned about the whole potential allergic reaction thing so I only tried a little bit and saved the rest for later.

Yea they are great. The last time I ate them I was in Cactu's kitchen in Mexico and I sliced them, dipped them in egg, then panko bread crumbs, then deep fried them. I then made a dipping sauce with sour cream and spices. They were great, so much so that some people who don't normally like mushrooms said they were really good.

I think it's a good mushroom but not one of the great ones like chants or shiitake. The flavor is basically like bisporus but has a much softer texture. They absolutely look horrific when sauteed though due to the staining color.

Sounds like an awesome way to cook them up, will definately give this a shot if I find some more.

I'm kinda the opposite haha. While chanterelles are good, they're just slightly better in my opinion than bisporus. As for shiitake, I absolutely abhor fresh shiitake. The dried ones are good though. I don't really care about the appearance; I'm Asian so I'm used to eating all sorts of gross looking stuff

The flavor is quite intense, super savory and texture is great. The stems are great too.
BTW - The orange color goes away about 30 minutes after cutting. And the cooked mushroom comes out "normal" mushroom colored, not the color of the staining.
At least the ones we seem to find.

I battered and fried the whole cap. It was tasty, but it would have been better actually deep fried I think. Mine turned out kinda soggy.

If you deep-fried a stick of frozen salted butter I would like it too.
Or even a deep fried babies arm...
But why deep fry a Leppy?
I mean, I'd eat it and most likey enjoy it, but why oh why deep fry it?
