Who's had them? What's the best way to fix them? Got one from a friend at work - never seen one before (let alone heard of them). I'm willing to try it though...
TIA

OK, ROOKIE, you kept us in suspense long enough (6 hours from the first post)
What the heck is it? Some of us guessed...so TELL.

is THAT what it is? A mushroom???...
I say stuff it. I posted a recipe for stuffed mushroom earlier...Here it is...So if you like garlic, then just try to lessen this recipe and everyone will want you to make them all the time.
4 (10 oz.) packages white mushrooms
1 full head of garlic
1 head of shallot
2 lemons
1 tsp. ground pepper
1 tsp. oregano
1 lb. butter
bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated romano cheese
garlic powder
cast iron skillet
Stuffing: Leave the butter out to soften. Wash mushrooms, snap stems off gently & set aside caps. Mince 3/4 of stems & all the shallot, also mince the large garlic cloves (save small pieces). Mix minced items, oregano, pepper, cheese, with 2 sticks of butter into a mixture for stuffing the caps. Place mixture into the refrigerator to thicken. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Slice & sautee retained garlic in a stick of butter & juice of 1/3 lemon. When brown, scoop garlic out. Saute EACH SIDE of cap for about 8 minutes, and sprinkle each side with garlic powder & lemon as they are in for the sautee, adding butter if needed. Drain caps & set aside. Repeat until all caps are sauteed.
Stuff the mushoom caps by hand, mounding mix into the cap opening. Set them tightly touching on a pan. When pan is full, sprinkle all mushrooms with garlic then bread crumbs to form a good layer on top of the caps. Bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes. Serve sprinkled with a little lemon juice and enjoy.

Last time I had mushrooms, they were dried and I was in college.
NHSmoker,
Don't forget that you had to pluck them from the horse/cow pastures, as well! :P

ok- I thought that you were talking about the puff ball mushroom-- they do grow in the woods in New York State and when we were kids we would stomp on them and the spores come floating up - it looks like smoke. And I guess thats where the name comes from.I am a mushroom lover- But I don't think I would want to eat one.

Alright, I tried them. I sauteed them with a little spice - pretty strong flavor and kind of has a bitter aftertaste. It was free and worth a try - I wouldn't pay for them though...
