Aren't they interesting? I wonder if the color holds up after cooking. I plan to just lightly stir fry them as a side dish, so that they'll retain their flavor. The lady who was selling them said they have the same flavor as the normal gray oyster mushrooms, but are more pungent. She's right. When I took them home and opened the bag, the stinky mushroom smell was pretty strong--but in a good way! There were some little kids, about six or seven, on a field trip. They stopped by the stall while I was paying, and were wowed by the funny pink mushrooms.

*SIGH!* On our last trip up, we saw these and SO wanted to take them home... sadly the mushroom guy said they wouldn't hold up past the few days we were there!
