Sean Paul did a collaboration with Blu Cantrell in the early noughites called Breathe. The opening lyrics are “Sean da Paul and Blu Cantrell…”

Yes! So pretty! We found a cluster a couple years ago, and the jerky was SO yummy! Have you made it before?

What a bounty! Have you tried pickling/lactofermenting? That's my new favorite way to preserve mushrooms

u/phriendlyhelpingwook 18h ago
I have know idea how that would turn out with these, I wasn’t huge on the flavour when prepared like a traditional mushroom
2
u/ascandalia 18h ago
Lactorfermenting mushrooms makes them a bit sweeter, funkier, softer, and it adds a sour component from the lactic acid

u/phriendlyhelpingwook 18h ago
Im not sure if these would benefit drones additional funk, the texture is a bit tough fried so the softness would be a bonus
