Someone just gave me a big honking bag of mushrooms, because they know I like to cook. I’m not sure what kind they are, but later today I could post pictures of them if necessary. It’s a large Ziploc bag full of the little guys (white, and somewhat the size of a plum). What could I do with 'em? ---

If you don’t know the identity, how about the person that gave them you you? Are they a reliable source? Are they wild or cultivated? ---
