How to prepare & cook a vegetarian gluten free Mushroom Hamburger, from wild picked Boletus:
Please allow me to share with you a short video, to show one of my favorite recipes, for how to prepare and cook a Mushroom Burger, this time I am going to use wild picked Boletus Mushrooms, to re-create a hamburger.
Important Note:
If you are not an Mushroom expert, then never pick, touch or eat wild Mushrooms if you don’t have an Mushroom expert with you.
Never buy wild picked mushrooms which are not picked by an expert
General information:
Tens of thousands of organisms, from mushrooms to mold to yeast, fall under the umbrella of fungi. Once thought simply to be plants, fungi have emerged as their own taxonomic kingdom. The various fungal species are diverse, with many unique properties: some innocuous, some useful and some harmful.
There are more than 2 million registered types of Mushrooms
For culinary use we can purchase wild grown or farmed mushrooms, wild grown mushrooms are seasonal and farmed mushrooms we can find all year long in our supermarkets
Mushrooms can be picked fresh or be purchased fresh, pickled, brined, dehydrated or frozen
Some of the wild mushrooms are very toxic and poisonous, some are not edible, some have no gastronomic value but maybe medicinal value and some are high valued for consumption
Mushrooms are very healthy and fresh or dehydrated contain natural UMAMI chemicals
Mushrooms can be used in stews, soups or sauces, for fermentations, brines, for vegetarian or vegan dishes, and so many other dishes or culinary preparations
