While I use fresh mushrooms for most recipes, canned ones can be
convenient and the straw mushrooms from the oriental market stay tender
while most canned mushrooms are rubbery.

Rinsing them well in a screen strainer, then cooking them in a bit of
butter and olive oil with garlic improves the taste somewhat, but are
there any other methods of improving the flavor that anyone knows of?

Make cream, tomato and mushroom soup with a filo pastry top? Or batter
fried ones might be good as a snack with plain fromage frais with
seasoning.

Soup is good.......... and I'd not thought of deep frying them, thanks!
:-) I'd have to drain them well before trying that as they have pretty
deep caps. Cool idea!

Glad it's of use. Talking about canned mushroom, I craved for it
occasionally, straight out of the can during budget student days.
