Mushrooms are great. Most people find them interesting and appealing, and they are very easy to cook, requiring not much more than a bit of olive oil, seasoning, and heat to bring out their flavor.

However, the lowly cremini mushroom, widely available, can have great charm and flavor if handled correctly. Pay close attentio
