Cautions: This is a distinctive mushroom with no poisonous look-alikes. It does cause a mild allergic reaction (swollen lips) in some people. Cooking Hints: Cook only the tender outer edges of the caps; the rest is tough and woody. Slice and simmer in stock for 45 minutes, then serve creamed on toast. When cooked, this mushroom has the texture and often the taste of chicken. They can get huge, finding one that might weigh 40 pounds is common.
