The lobster mushroom actually refers to a bright orange-red mold that attacks its host, a common type of Russula. The mold magically transforms this ordinarily insipid mushroom into a culinary prize, giving it a meaty texture and almost toasted shellfish-like flavor. Lobsters grows quite large with a firm texture and are best roasted, grilled or braised with a splash of marsala.
