Lobster mushrooms are a type of wild, edible mushroom that grow on the forest floor, often near coniferous trees. They are known for their distinctive appearance, which includes a bright red-orange exterior that resembles the color of cooked lobster shells. Underneath the outer layer, the mushroom is typically white. Lobster mushrooms have a seafood-like aroma and a savory, earthy flavor. They are used in a variety of culinary dishes, including soups, risottos, and pasta dishes, where they add both flavor and a vibrant reddish hue to the recipes.
