The 10 Edible Mushrooms You Must Know
We’re sure you’ve heard of them; however, can you identify which are the most well-known edible mushrooms? We explain it below:

Rovelló – one of the most famous edible mushrooms without a doubt! Orange in color and slightly pink, it has a mild smell and a smooth surface.
‘Rovelló’ pinetell: the twin brother of the rovelló, but tastier. Their main difference is the color. The pinetell has green spots on the top and is one of the most prized edible mushrooms.
Camagroc: as its name suggests, it is characterized by having a yellow foot. It is an extremely fine and elastic mushroom, brown and yellow in color.
Cama-sec: small mushroom, with elastic white flesh and a mild and pleasant smell. At the bottom of the hat we find wide and thick sheets.
Boletus: One of the most highly regarded edible mushrooms in all of Europe and most famous in the kitchen. Known for its thick white foot and wide gray hat.
Fredolic: it is a very fragile mushroom, because it breaks easily. Small in size, it has a white foot and an often irregular, gray hat. Soft to the touch.
Black Linnega: compact, large-sized mushroom that you will recognize by its slimy texture, especially on the cap. Shiny, with a white foot and a viscous brown hat.
Ou de Reig: mushroom that can measure up to 15 cm. It is called an egg because when it is born it is shaped like an egg. Orange-red in color, it has tender flesh and a mild smell.
Nightingale: Did you know that the nightingale is one of the edible mushrooms that never rots? You will recognize it by its dark yellow color and it has a pleasant, slightly fruity smell.
Death’s Trumpet: While its name doesn’t invite eating, it’s a treat. It is a mushroom that, due to its grayish-black color and its different appearance, is often rejected. However, it is very popular in the kitchen. In the shape of a cone, its flesh is thin and fibrous and its flavor is somewhat reminiscent of truffle.
Now that you know the 10 most important edible mushrooms, we will explain the culinary use of each of them.

What is the best way to cook each mushroom?
As we told you before, each edible mushroom has a specific culinary use: some are better eaten raw, others stewed or sautéed. We explain it to you:

Ideal for stews: cama-sec, fredolic and nightingale. Perfect for all kinds of stews.
Perfectly raw: You don’t always have to cook mushrooms to enjoy their flavor! Cep and kingfish are ideal to eat raw, carpaccio type and well seasoned with oil and a pinch of salt. The nightingale, although not as common, can also be eaten raw.
Grilled or fried: the best are rovellón or pinetell, seasoned with a little garlic and parsley. The vine is also another good option.
In a delicious omelet: We’re sure you’ll love this option! Add pre-cooked camagrocs, cama-secos or death trumpets to your omelette.
In a warm soup: cold is the king of soups. Do you dare to prepare it?
