gyromitra gigas in tahoe

too bad I forgot to take my camera out hunting with me.

Who has sampled these? Any recipe suggestions would be appreciated. They smell a lot like morels, I suppose I could use them in the same type dishes?

Time to go clean these things...

Keep in mind the likely presence of gyromitrin in these and the need for proper preparation.

I don't think I would eat any species of Gyromitra. But if you do decide to cook them, don't breath in the steam or vapors. Funny, in my field guide, Gyromitra gigas is listed as Gyromitra montana:shrug:

gigas is supposed to be less toxic than most of the rest.  I've been told by a large number of Finns (and also by Alan) that gyromitra are completely delicious.  As sketchy as it strikes me to eat em, tons of people do successfully do so.

I have tried a very small portion, and it was very delicious. I just personally wouldn't chow down like 4-5 mushrooms.
