π < young porcini mushroom >
A young porcini mushroom. This is about the best stage of growth for an excellent harvest.
The consistency of the mushroom is fairly firm, not spongy soft.
Accordingly, the chewing experience when eating is relatively similar to meat.
The flavour is difficult to describe, some describe it as nutty, with an additional fruity note, but only if very fresh and young specimens.
Such a mushroom weighs around 200 grams. Just a few mushrooms are enough to create an excellent pasta.
