Found my first lobsters the other day, I thought they were rocks spray-painted by forestry workers. We cooked the best one up with a little butter until slightly crisp on the outside. Honestly, I'm not sure why these are so highly regarded. The texture was similar to styrofoam, kind of mealy, not that different from Russula and the flavour was lacking. I'd still like to try them again, maybe it was just a subpar lobster.

I've always been disappointed, and several times repulsed, by Lobster Mushrooms. I avoid. But then, I never liked lobster.

I'm glad I'm not the only one, I think if I posted this in my local group they'd think I was crazy.
