Expecting a full summary and reponse from ShroomGirl!!

Chopped shallots cooked in sherry and butter until they're soft, mixed with some bread crumbs and whatever herbs are handy.

wild shroom duxelle in a crimini cap...yum....makers mark, cream, blk pepper/salt, shallots, minced stems, dried morels or porcini or blk trumpet powdered. 

I do a Crab or Shrimp Stuffed Mushroom with a Shiitake Cream Sauce................

The stems are used in many cases to make a duxelle which acts as a strecher to whateve else you use.Why open tomateoes when you have mushroom? You can stuff them with anything.

smoked walleye stuff morels with a crumb topping drizzled with garlic butter.

White Truffle Risotto! WooT!

I missed it :( I love stuffed mushrooms and stuffed capsicums.

A very classic is mushrooms stuffed with garlic butter; mix butter, chopped parcely, garlic, s&p. Fill mushroomcaps, put in the oven.

How about making a thick bechamel, add finely cut slice of cooked ham, steamed or cooked bits of leaks, Gruyère on top. In the oven for a few minutes and broiled the last seconds.

button or criminis are for texture....wild shroom is for flavor...."try it, you'll like it"....

wild mushrooms are very different than cultivated...different in flavor, texture etc.

One reason is for cost, if you throw the stems out, you lose money. Another is to help fill. And even one more is, the stem has a slight woody flavor that inhances the stuffing.

I like to use, stems, panko, italian ground sausage, herbs, s&p, asiago, a little chicken broth to help combine everything and finally some Crown Royal.
 

Any mushroom stuffing suggestions for the lactose intolerant? Something modest... it's for friends not a love interest.

pcie,how about spinach or greens wilted with garlic, evo and maybe even a touch of anchovy....bread crumbs/evo/parsley/herbage (brain is not quite awake yet but dillweed)....add parm or gouda or chevre or swiss to those that eat cheese and leave the others sans dairy.

Forgot the easiest and tastiest stuffing; Boursin cheese, the "ail et fines herbes" (garlic and herbs) variety. Nothing else, fill caps, let cheese melt in the oven, delicious!

Maybe if you don't find Boursin, you could replace it with a mixture of ricotta, a dash of cream, garlic, fresh herbs (parcely, chives, citronella, chervil...), s&p

My smoked fish stuffed mushrooms are lactose free. Very simple to make because you can buy the fish smoked if you want.

I like it just simple. I slice the mushroom by quarters and mixed with butter and white pepper then, I cook it in the grill. :)
