Although insignificant in size, the fairy ring mushroom (Marasmius oreades) is not wanting in flavor. Their full flavor makes them wonderful in a wide range of dishes:
soups, stews, sauces, even cookies. A basic way to cook the fairy ring mushroom (and an excellent way to try them for the first time) is to sauté them in butter for
about 5 minutes, add a generous squeeze of lemon juice and simmer for another 10 minutes.
