Try it in the kitchen
Cook sliced champignon with olive oil and parsley, then spoon them onto toast or fold them into a barley dish. Keep a few pieces larger if you want the cap’s shape to remain visible.
Use Menù’s prepared cream of trifolati prataioli (Agaricus bisporus) to top pizza or bruschetta, or serve it beside meat dishes.
Whole or already sliced
Choose whole mushrooms when you want to decide the cut yourself, or sliced ones for a dish built around thin pieces. The grower Funghidea lists both formats; these are preparations of the same food.
