Default What strange looking 'shrooms!

My mom just brought back some of these strange looking mushroom but the packaging is absent of any label. Can anyone tell me what these are called and suggest the best way to prepare them? I was thinking of just sautee'ing them with chicken or beef.

Sorry about the flash.

Looks like you have Cepes.

Frozen no dought.

Squeeze them dry and check for worms.

I always oven dry frozen Cepes.

Foie and Sweetbreads are what I love with Cepes.

I don't think they're porcinis. I don't know what they are though.

I did get them a coulle of weeks ago in a mixed mushroom pack I ordered. I cooked them and decided to call them....gooood
