BEFORE COOKING:

Before cooking, fresh penny bun mushrooms are cleaned with a rough brush, washed, and dried.

COOKING:

Place the penny bun mushrooms into cold water, ensuring there is enough water to completely cover them. Cook the penny bun mushrooms for 35–40 minutes. Start timing from the moment the water reaches a boil. If there is any doubt regarding the type of mushrooms being cooked, change the water during cooking (once or twice) or refrain from consuming them! If there is no doubt, changing the water during cooking is not necessary. Remove any foam during cooking. Salt the water towards the end of cooking. Season to taste with pepper, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, marjoram, and bay leaf. Cook covered. The cooked mushrooms are soft and delicate.

AFTER COOKING:

After cooking, drain and dry the penny bun mushrooms.

SERVING SUGGESTION:

Penny bun mushrooms can be a delicacy or an accompaniment to other dishes (cereals, rice, or vegetables). They can also serve as an excellent main ingredient in mushroom soup, marinade, or sauce.
