Dried Lobster Mushrooms any ideas?

[suz]

My sister sent me some of these mushrooms. I've never heard of them before and therefore have never cooked with them. Anyone familiar with these? Mix with other mushrooms? Would you use the reconstituted liquid?

Don't discard the liquid - just pour it through a sieve before using.

I've never tried these particular ones, but you can just mix them with other mushrooms.
