To cook these mushrooms, you can start by heating a little oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown. This process typically takes about 5 to 8 minutes. You can add them to other ingredients towards the end of cooking or cook them on their own. Season with salt and pepper to taste. They are also good when added directly to soups or stews during the last 10 minutes of simmering.
