Cooking Xeruloid mushrooms

I've been eating wild mushrooms for a few years now, slowly expanded my collection list to include new varieties as I become more confident. I have often come across other mycophages who tell me this mushroom or that mushroom I'm about to try are not worth it..I began to believe I would never find a mushroom that I felt that way about, because I liked them all, once I knew the proper way to prepare them. Then I decided to try Hymenopellis spp. I'm fairly certain they are furfuracea, but I haven't scoped them or anything. First I tried frying them..yuck! What an aftertaste. Then I tried roasting them on a cookie sheet with ramp salt and Italian herbs until crispy for a result that was much like plain pork rinds. And still that weird aftertaste. So I'm wondering where I'm going wrong with these..I feel doubtful of using them in a soup, due to their rubbery nature, and the aftertaste makes me shy to just dehydrate them and powder them. I see so many of them out there, especially lately, how do I work with these?

Nobody eats these? I guess I can believe that, given my current experiences with them..

I've tried them a couple of times and didn"t like them. The strong flavor though might work some way, but I haven't found it.

I don't like Ringless Honey Mushrooms either, for me the Ringless Honeys taste much like the Hymenopellis.

Haven't tried ringless yet, but I've had the A.mellea and I think another species of the ringed ones and can't say I see what all the hype about them is, outside of how short of a season they have here. Kind of feel the same way about Morchella, but I'm a bit jaded with my HoursSpentHunting:MorelsFound ratio.

The Black Morels are good when dried and are worth the time spent IMO, the others not so much except as an excuse to stretch your legs in the spring.

We also have the M. americana around here, which are fairly large, if you can find them. We found some small ones this year and left them to grow, someone else found them afterwards. I don't mind the Dryads.
