    Was eating at a restaurant yesterday and they had what looked like huge Mushrooms. They were almost the size of my hand.

    They were probably Hair Mushrooms. Here is a picture of mine. They can get pretty large. I started out with two.

    Those are pretty cool, Ive never seen them in the LFS around here.

    Where can you get them?

    Most likely a portabella mushroom... MMMMMMmmmmm..... ;D

    I'd imagine one of those hairy mushrooms would taste terrible, although people do eat sea cucumbers. :p

    I didn't know that. Sounds gross, though.

    It is :cry:

    I was in China during the Chinese new year for work and was invited to a very traditional Chinese New Years dinner. 10 courses of some of the grossest things, sea cucumber was at the top of the creepy list but I ate it anyway as to not offend.

    BTW, jellyfish tentacles aren't much better.;D
