Are these "pine mushrooms", aka matsutake? I don't think I have ever seen or eaten one. What are they like? How does your friend prepare them?
Yes, matsutake. I meant to say so. Will now edit.
American matsutake (Tricholoma magnivelare) are a different species from Asian matsutake (Tricholoma matsutake) and I've only eaten the latter. Reports suggest the Asian are more valued.
I don't know how my friend cooks them, but I'll ask.
