The author bought a box of almond mushrooms at the supermarket and used half for soup; the remaining half was pan-fried following recipes for expensive matsutake. Only a little salt is added to preserve the mushroom's own flavor. The author notes the supermarket label called them matsutake, but they are actually almond mushrooms, and wonders how they compare to pan-fried king oyster mushrooms.
