Can fresh mushrooms be frozen?
If so, do they need to be cooked first?
Thanks, Y'all!

The mushrooms that I freeze around here are the oak stump mushrooms gathered in the fall. I get plenty (sometimes a couple bushels) so I just wash them , and pack them in plastic freezer bags. When I thaw them, I just lest them drain, and then sautee them in butter and olive oil until the moisture is out and then add garlic, fresh ground pepper, and some red pepper flakes. They are really good and surely easier to get then those elusive morels around here.
How do you know which ones you can eat? I have at LEAST 40 oak stumps that go crazy with 'shrooms all summer, then there are a ton of teeny ones just growning in the grass. I've always wondered if I could eat them. So far I just mow them with the lawn.
