These mushrooms aren't shaped like lobsters or crabs, nor do they taste like them! Instead, they owe their name to their reddish-orange color, reminiscent of crustaceans after cooking. They owe this color to a funny phenomenon - lobster mushrooms are in fact russula parasitized by hypomyce lactifluorum. It is this parasitism that gives them their color and edible quality. It's the perfect way to add color and flavor to your gourmet dishes! Lobster mushrooms have a woody, nutty taste, reminiscent of matsutake, and a firm texture. They are also commonly known as crab mushrooms, or lobster mushrooms. 

Flavor Pairings

Crab mushrooms are perfect with corn, zucchini, tofu, eggs, butter, cream, garlic, shallot and onion, dill, tarragon, and thyme.

Preparation

Crab mushrooms are delicious in risotto, with fresh pasta, salads (they must be cooked first!) and fish. Clean them well by brushing with a mushroom brush (or, if you don't have one, a new soft-bristled toothbrush can do the trick). Then blanch them for a few seconds in boiling water and enjoy their intensifying red color! Finally, pan-fry them with a little butter, French shallots, and fresh herbs, and they're ready to be served as a side dish. Or add them to your bisque or chowder recipe. The color of these mushrooms guarantees a magnificent dish, and their flavor is just delightful!

Conservation

With their firm texture, these mushrooms have a good shelf life in the fridge - probably just over a week, depending on storage conditions. Ideally, place them in a paper bag to regulate their humidity, and only clean them at the last minute, before cooking.

Un champignon à redécouvrir

Nous avons été en camping à Baie Saint Paul et avons trouvé là bas des tonnes de champignons homard. Après 5 min au moins 4 lb de trouvé, nous avons du en jeter 2.5 lb. Donc résultat 1.5 lb de champignon en parfaite condition Un régal à essayé avec de la bière et un bon gras de cuisson.

Très particulier comme champignons. J'ai bien aimé la texture ferme de ce champignon, très intéressant et surtout très bon..

Merci! Ça fait plaisir à lire! La texture ferme du champignon homard est en effet surprenante, mais aussi un de ses avantages!

We are transforming local culinary culture

to put the North on the plate

The North,

It is the land here that nourishes us, from the forests to the fields to the Saint-Laurent. It is our connection to the cycle of the seasons.

It is a community of farmers, fishermen and artisans who put their know-how at the service of our food and our gourmet pleasures.

In return, we highlight the fruit of their work through the exceptional condiments that we create and our selection of local products, in a spirit of short supply chain and respect for the environment.
