Recently I found a recipe from Gild the (Voodoo)lily that called for lobster mushrooms, and was instantly reminded of a photo I took of this particular species when visiting San Francisco's Fungi Far West. This exotic, mottled reddish-orange mushroom variety was offered at $10/lb, and at the time I deliberated taking some home to satiate my curiosity, but since I was traveling I opted to wait to until I returned to New York. When I finally did track this exotic lobster mushroom in New York, I was disenchanted to find it cost $30/lb. I knew it was going to cost more but not this much more! I grumbled to myself and the mushrooms.
