@ErmesT these are very strange mushrooms. 

Funghi are such fascinating creatures.

@WalterSanders @ErmesT They look like they should be fruit, so red.

Hi @MarieP In the Czech Republic there are several traditional ways. One is mixed mushrooms with eggs, Name of the dish I do not know how to translate. Czech "smaženice". Another way is fried in breadcrumbs. Another way is mushroom soup. Some mushrooms dried and added to food in the winter as a spice.
