Running around the internet I found something that I have never seen. A pink mushroom. Have you ever seen one? It is something new to me. I just had to find more out about them. These are quick growing mushroom that are delicate and have a short shelf life. This pretty mushroom is a darker pink underneath and a more delicate pink on top. Are they eatable? Absolutely. Depending on the mushroom they are either thick and meaty or delicate and thin depending on how they were grown. Unfortunately they lose the pink color as they are cooked. Unfortunately they only stay fresh in the fridge a couple of days. Then they start smelling like urine. Not a very pleasant thought. These little jewels grow best in warmer climate areas. Would you try growing and eating a pink mushroom?

The pink oyster mushrooms are pretty good, not very tasty, but good.

@HazySue Not in this season, during Autumn and Winter I add them to stews.

They're nice to look at, but I would need to pass as I keep my mushrooms in the fridge longer than a couple of days.

That is the one thing that would bother me - opening up the fridge and smelling like someone peed in it.

I've never had a pink mushroom before. I'd give one a try.

They are so pretty. I bet they would look good in a salad.

I doubt that I would try them.

@HazySue I like fresh mushrooms in a salad, but not a big fan actually.

"...depending on how they **were grown**..." --- Does that mean that these mushrooms don't grow in the woods but are cultivated?

They do grow in the woods in shady areas up around the bottom of tree trunks. But, they are also cultivated. by those who wish to sell them.

That was my first thought when I saw the photo. I thought it looked like frilly coral.

I love mushrooms. I would hate them to start smelling like urine, though. Ew

I do too. I am afraid one time of my fridge smelling like urine would turn me off to mushrooms.
