About

By using large specimens of this wild and delicious fungus, you may find extra protein hidden in the middle of them, for larger oysters will probably have little maggots inside (cut off the stem if so).

Method

Make the marinade an hour beforehand to allow the flavour to develop. To do this, combine all the ingredients and leave to stand in a bowl.

Prepare a charcoal grill, and when it is hot, brush each mushroom with the marinade and grill for 5-6 minutes on each side. Baste throughout the cooking, and serve hot accompanied by toast or a wonderful steak.
