Default Porcini mushrooms???

Are these ugly looking things really worth $55.00 per lb???
That is for fresh. I did not get any for myself, just 1/10 of a lb.
as a trade item. :-) I may spring for a couple more next time I go
just to give them a try.

How does one use these?

The store also had some Oregon Morels this morning for about
the same price. Big beauties too. What are they like?

The only mushrooms I've eaten so far have been the regular
ones from the grocery store, portabellos, Oyster, Shitake,
and golden mushrooms. Central Market always has a good variety
of unusual fresh mushrooms, including real truffles from
time to time...

Right now I'm trying to collect some spore prints from the caps
of the porcinis and may attempt to grow them if I can find out
what their habit and habitat is.

TIA!
