It's even priced like lobster, unbelievable!

I’m allergic to shellfish. So this might be a good alternative for me.

I can’t comment enough how grateful the plant community is that there’s an awesome chef that helps us break the mold of “vegans just eat grass”. Thanks for reaching new culinary heights for us to try!!! It looks delicious!! ❤️🌱

Always interesting to hear the price range of foraged goods. I can collect around 10lbs of lobster mushroom in about 45mins on the paths where I live. Along with many oyster, chanterelle, and other edibles. Never really thought of their market value! Makes me feel even more fortunate!

While I am DEFINITELY NOT a vegetarian and probably will never try these recipes personally. I genuinely respect the adventure because this truly helps chefs who are just learning the trade and if they want to go vegetarian you are showing genuine examples of where individual ideas can be strong and also why you shouldn't be afraid to experiment with your trade. You have my genuine respect dude o.o

People are picking Lobster mushrooms right now on the Oregon/Washington coast, in Ontario, Vermont, Maine, and even Mexico. The season has started!

I guess you could say there isn't mush-room for improvement lol

Just saw Julien Solomita make this

Hey I just want to say thank you so much for all these vegetarian recipes. I grew up vegetarian in an era when the only option was Boca burgers, and if your local grocery store had those you were lucky. It's so exciting to see someone as talented and creative as you putting your skills to use in finding plant-based foods for us to enjoy!

Sauté your mushrooms in water before adding fat. They'll soak up the water and not the fat :)

Omg. That's one thing I thought I would never have again, amazing! It's also great to have really special foods as a vegan, for a celebration dinner. The lobsters thank you.

Wish we have smell-o-vision.

Dude, you’ve got me absolutely craving lobster now. Last time I had something like a lobster roll was with imitation crab a few years back at subway lol.

Wow! I’ve never even heard of lobster mushrooms before! That’s pretty cool! 👍

I am so freaking happy I found your account. Happy vegan here. I loved lobster in my meat eating days... and butter. Alternatives are so worth it to go vegan. So stoked to try this thank you

Technically.....a fungus is not a plant....its a fungus, the third kingdom........ (yes yes, I'm that guy)

Fun fact: lobsters could potentially live forever cause the telomeres in their cells don’t shorten as they multiply

Your enthusiasm for food is infectious.

I actually clapped out loud for you. This was expertly done and lives up to the Maine Lobster Roll standard.

I’m super stoked that you made this video!!! I’ve been searching for a video recipe like this Thank you💕

This is an amazing looking Dish so much flavor and so much Color...😋😋👍👍.....

I love how most if not all of your recent videos are vegan

I'm more excited over the fact your subs have been taking off lately 😊 than I am over this lovely lobster roll...looks great man You really deserve all the success coming your way..

I don’t know where or how easy they’d be to source for you but lions mane mushrooms are amazing, chop them into thick patties and fry them up and use them in place of a burger patty 100% best veggie burger ever

If you can get a hold of some Chicken of the Woods, try it! Some people say it tastes like chicken.

I’m a Christian so I need this! Christians seem to think the dietary laws don’t apply to them, well technically you’re Messianic Jews, so YES the dietary laws apply to you and are still in effect!

That looked delicious...have to try that one day soon

😮 YOU CONTINUE TO BLOW MY MIND!! 🤯🤯🤯 Can you do a Q&A soon?! I would love to know more about you and your vegetarian/vegan journey!

I worked with them as a former chef. They are best braised and sliced to a quarter of an inch with the flavors of your choice. As they are pretty dense. Happy cooking and eating!

You should try oyster mushroom “clam” cakes. I have made them before, and they were so good!

I never liked lobster when I ate meat but I love this recipe. I’d like to make it for friends that live in Maine to see what they thought.

We have a lot of chicken of the woods and hen of the woods around here, and they shred just like chicken. Even my dogs like them cooked.

Found a bunch of these growing under my oak trees a few weeks ago. Finally decided to try cooking them up (picked them about 10 mins before cleaning and cooking). I boiled them in water for about 15 mins first, chopped them up, them sauteed in butter, onions, and a splash of soy sauce. Saute medium heat until onions start to brown (just past caramelization). I'm trying this one next.

Looks incredible! My parents forage Lobster Mushrooms, will have to make this recipe when I visit them next. :)

You never cease to amaze me with these. I’m a rabid meat eater and all these look delicious 😋 I may be converted 😂 great video as always👍

Newbie here via Julien Solomita.....i'm intrigued, for sure!

Yes! Keep these "sea food" inspired mushroom recipes. Really helping me transition from meat..done it before but always doubled back and I'm now finding it more difficult to stop the cravings. So you may have no clue but you are changing someone's life for the better with these videos. Thank you for your contributions to humanity💚

Your videos are always interesting and fun to watch.

Where are the buns mr?! 😂 DAMN that looks amazing!

Fungus and vegetable cuisine the stuff of legends

What amazing part of the world do you live in where you can easily get all these exotic foods that are used in all your amazing foods Also, why the heck doesn’t your channel have more subs and views, this is god damn amazing work you’re doing

This channel is by far the most helpful

I think this would be an amazing alternative for a lobster mac n cheese or even risotto!

I love this videos. What does bug me is that so many of these vegan dishes are close to 3x the cost of their non vegan counterpart recipes. Literally the lobster mushrooms are 3x the price per pound to actual lobster.

Watching your videos makes me want to grow my own mushrooms. I haven’t seen chicken of the wood or this lobster mushroom in any grocer or farmers market. Your pink mushroom bacon is also appealing.

I work with horses and in the woods where we ride them, there are tons of lobster mushrooms in the summer. I've always wanted to pick some and try it!

I'd love to see if you can replicate this with something cheaper like heart of palm or even another type of mushroom!

ive recently gotten into foraging and hope that i'll find these this summer!

If you ever want to forage your own lobster mushrooms, come visit me in Vermont in late July...I know of a great place...Just harvested some the other day. Along with Black Trumpets & Golden Chanterelles. Also, I HIGHLY recommend saving the butter in which you cooked the lobster mushrooms. Delicious for eggs or sauce for pasta. You can even freeze the butter for future use.

Just found fresh lobster mushroom at 18 dollars per pound at my local farmers market. They are there for the first time and I was super lucky to be going to market this week. I bought a pound which is enough to fill an entire paper bag. I am super excited to make a vegan lobster roll this week. Now to buy some vegan mayo and some old bay. I should be all set to recreate this recipe. Also buns. I need those buns. Lol

Lovin the plant based alternatives. Healthier and more ethical, didn't even know about this.

Great mushroom bud, thanks for the video. I'm a wholesale mushroom picker, if you need a stable seasonal source contact me. August and September are the core of the season.

Well done. I found these on my property today and cooked them in garlic butter....AWESOME!!!

Everybody needs a friend who is just STOKED. This dude fits that bill. He's now my stoked internet friend. Turns out, he makes radical plant-based foods too, bonus!

Make a fake lobster shell out of pieced together dragon fruit rinds and stuff it full of lobster mushrooms, then steam it with some bay leaves! Go full mad scientist with it!

Where can I find a lobster mushroom. I have always loved mushrooms!!

Lobster is a prized delicacy upon which empires are built, and you're telling me this whole time we could have just been picking it up off the floor? This is a miracle food, and I can't find it anywhere!!

I'm not even vegan, but I recently found your channel and have been binge watching all your videos, I had no idea that there are as many alternatives as there are, love your vids!

I’ve foraged for lobster mushrooms many times and they never have tasted anything like lobster.

I feel the same way about Lions mane, making crab cakes out of them

Why don't you have a tv show? I totally really would go to your restaurant, or order the delivery -- even air delivery!!!! You rock.

Anyone who lives in Colorado should know these grow like crazy in our state when we get a spring with a lot of rain.

Here from Julian channel

I need this

Your one of the few vegan cooking Chanel’s I enjoy

We find those here in flagstaff Arizona. Where my dad is from, they're called "trompas de puerco" or in english, "pig snouts"

bur mushrooms r also fungus????? dont they? lolol just maybe other group of fungus such as truffles. anyway i love ur videos so faaar!! i heard that mushroom before but never saw any video as u made !! thank you so much. you make me smile lot hahahaha. lol from a korean flexterian lol

Knowing that raw mushrooms are super lightweight, I'd assume you'd get a bunch in a pound. And I'd try it. I happen to love lobster.

This has been a great Lobster mushroom season. We have found at least 60 pounds!. This past weekend we found about 19 pounds. Our buyer only wanted 7 pounds so we are left with the rest. We usually dry them to use later. This time I saved some to try a couple of recipes. Trying this one now.

I am new learning all I can eat for plant base lifestyle please continue with the mushroom series I love it. Thank you for the information

Aw man, I would love to try this since I love both mushrooms and lobster, but it's a shame these mushrooms aren't widely available and are super expensive. :(

🦋👍🦋. Would love to find some of these in my foraging for other shrooms ... looks sooo delish. Im hungry now !!) D

Aftrr eating mushroom my hearing heals a lot! Its unbelievable clear

I was wishing for smell-o-vision ! This looked great!

I was hoping these were less expensive than actual lobster, but never mind, lol.

The Helman's Vegan Mayo is really good!

Amazing video keep up the good work

I love it! These grow naturally near my area so I’m looking forward to making this! Thanks!

$42.00 per pound...but they are out of stock already.😢😢😢

“100% plant-based lobster roll” *Uses fungus*

Your videos always blow my mind! Your uploads are the best!

One of my favorite fungi to forage. I usually get a few lbs every year. If they are cooked to hot and fast they loose a lot of flavor. Simmer in a bit of water for 5 min or so then fry in butter make a rue in the mix then add the water from simmering. Top with fresh dill and enjoy. Great video!

makes me wonder if lobsters are infected with hypomyces lactifluorum (the fungus that infects mushrooms)

I’ve never had lobster (even before I was vegan) the thought of eating something that was boiled alive I always thought how barbaric.

I grow mushrooms at home, no reason I couldn't grow lobster mushrooms either. Usually Morels, Buttons, and Shiitake and experimenting with truffels. Lobster mushrooms seem to really like Hemlock and I can probably get some hemlock logs to use as a starter and see if I cant grow them off of some of my other mushrooms.

Omg I've seen this today in my local Turkish grocery store, it was 15,50 euros for 1 kilo, but they're a bit smaller than the ones in the video. Can't wait to try it!

It'd be awesome if you could get us a discount code 😁👍🏾 you definitely gave them great promo!!

Does the lobster mushroom count as a vegetable? How caloric is it?

Not much for substituting meats but I love mushrooms and this can give me some interesting ideas for how to use them.

I don’t know how I found your channel but I’m very glad I did.

you are like a vegetarian, liberal version of one of my uncles lol

hey! We found a mushroom that tastes just like lobster and costs MORE than a lobster try it! nah, interesting video tho

During the summer in Atlantic Canada these grow very well and make for great foraging. I do not find they taste as they smell though. I like to grate them, sauté and add to a vegan red sauce served over pasta or gnocchi. Absolutely wonderful.

My vegan bun recipe turns out amazing: 5 C freshly ground flour (from 2C hard red wheat & 1C hard white wheat berries), 2tsp salt, 2tsp yeast, 1.5C very warm water, 1/2C oil (I use olive), 1/4C light maple syrup or sucanat (I don't use sugar at all, not even sucanat). Mix the liquids and the salt, add 2C of the flour and the yeast. Mix well and let sit to make sure the yeast bubbles. Once it does, mix in the rest of the flour. Knead in the bowl until no longer sticky (do NOT add more flour), then transfer to a board or hard surface and knead till smooth about 10 mins total. Scoop by lg scoop (dipped in water and excess water shaken off). To form, lightly dampen your hands (shake off excess water) to keep from sticking, and place in oiled pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise 20 mins. Preheat oven to 350*F while the buns are rising, When buns are read, spread a little oil on, cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 20-25 mins. Remove aluminum foil for last 15 mins. After baking, while hot, lightly spread vegan butter over the top. They turn out fabulous!

Since when does seth rogen teach us how to cook ! Im more of a fan now !

It's not a mushroom it is a fungus lol aint mushrooms a fungus 🤔🙄

Here from Julien's vid. And a new sub to this channel. You make awesome stuff!

You are amazing! You are just the addition that the vegan KZfaq community needed! I Hope you get really big!
