Can you thaw frozen mushrooms and then pickle them?

I sauteed some black staining polypore (rooster of the woods) in some canola oil with minced garlic and then froze them a week ago. I want to pickle some mushrooms and heard this one when older/mature (like mine) are tough to chew. I have bay leaves, apple cider vinegar & white, peppercorns and grow thyme in my yard. Whats your input? I read this thread here http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/10584196#10584196 I think i could pull it off. I have brand new smaller sized canning jars.

Try it! How tough are they out of the freezer?
Yes, I AM living vicariously through your collections...
-------------------- "Shrub, 30-90 cm. Leaves 2.5-) 4-9 cm, sessile or amplexicaul, broadly ovate to ovate-oblong, obtuse or rounded to subapiculate or subacute, when crushed not smelling of goats." "The initial quake was a 6.6 but fairly shallow. I felt it as a prolonged up and down vibration followed by a jolt forward and then to the left, like square dancing."

I just read somewhere that if you can pinch through 'em on collection they're not too tough to eat.

sounds like a good indicator to me I thought they were only tough near the base. Id say I could pinch through the shelves just fine. I will see tomorrow and report back.

lol I was going to try them. smelled good thawed. Just got scared so I threw the little bag I got out away. Still got a bug bag of them. seemed tough when I tore a piece apart so I chucked em! I just found another black staining polypore earlier. Im hoping its not that and is a hen of the woods. I seen you checked the thread out so u prolly seen it by now.

Bah! I would have at least nibbled on it if I was there, and applied max peer pressure.
Just a nibble... You can spit it right out, y'know!
Grumble, grumble...
Man, I did that with twinberry awhile back. Won't be doin' that again.

lol sounds interesting. I been reading about shroomers nibbling then spitting it right back out and being ok. I even seen that link with that dude who ate a whole destroying angel raw! Bet he died if that waas real lol. said he was going to convert it to pure ecstacy! I did try the chicken of the woods and liked it (dint die) and I ate some of the giant puffball I also have eaten other way more dangerous things in my life. Just thought got grocieries. I get skiddish at times then other times Im fearless it seems.
