Cordyceps mushrooms are well suited for both raw and cooking methods such as braising or sautéing. They can be used whole or sliced in green salads, pickled for extended use, or added to soups, stews, and curries for color and texture. They can also be sautéed and mixed into stir-fries, pasta such as linguine, or risotto.
They will keep up to a week when stored loosely in a paper bag in the refrigerator.
