LOBSTER
LOBST-1
Description:
The Lobster Mushroom, is not a true mushroom, it is actually a parasitic fungus that grows on mushrooms, turning them a reddish orange color that resembles the outer shell of a cooked lobster. The color is almost luminous with a reddish hue and extremely rare in the edible mushroom world. As the Lobster mushroom grows, an irregular shaped cap forms above the stem, developing into many different shapes and sizes. The Lobster mushroom has a firm, soft texture and delicate nutty, earthy flavor. The texture of the Lobster mushroom makes it perfect for absorbing the flavors of a dish while offering a splash of color. Chieftain’s Lobster mushroom slices range from 1 to 3 inches wide.
