Another Lepista nuda 🍄
I also began to collect these purple mushrooms for food after a thorough reading on the web and on the basis of the fact that @simba still lives after eating them (requires pre-cooking of 20 min' and spilling the water!!!) 😂🤣😂🤣
You can read all about the Lepista nuda here.
Do remember that this type of mushroom requires pre-cooking of 15-20 min' and spilling the water afterward
Enjoy!

That's really not necessary. You're basically draining the flavour and nutritients from the mushroom by doing this. Cook/Fry them thoroughly for 15 minutes in a pan (goes for almost all mushrooms) and you are fine. I do it like this. ;-)
They have a pretty distinct taste not everybody likes and they don't mix well with other species because they overpower the flavours of other mushrooms, but I do enjoy them. L. nuda is the best of the Lepista species in my opinion.
Are you sure? 'Cos everywhere I look and read about the L. nuda it says to precook it for 15-20 min' and spill the water... I don't mean to question your knowledge in the matter but it's better to be safe than sorry with mushrooms 😅

That is true and you should be wary of comments from people on the internet. However, where I live I have never heard of this preparation with this mushroom. There are some species where it is recommended (Armillaria spp. - I did it the first time when I tried them to see if my stomach can handle them. I could but they taste like nothing afterwards. Now I just cook/fry them for 20 minutes and it's fine. Amanita muscaria is another example which needs quite a bit of preparation if you want to eat it for culinary purposes. Haven't tried them yet though.) but with Lepista nuda it's the first time I heard of it. And I don't know anybody who precooks them before eating.
There are a lot of differences regarding edibility of mushrooms in different parts of the world. In the US they eat some mushrooms which are considered inedible here. Eastern european countries eat pretty much anything from what I've read. ;-)
If it is recommended in your part of the world, maybe it's better to stick to the advice. But I'd be interested in the source if it's online and can be translated by google. ;-)
Better safe than sorry is good advice when it comes to mushrooms. :-)
Well, I didn't know Amanita muscaria was to be used for culinary purposes at all lol 😉 also I asked around and were told by some of those who collect L. nuda, as you've mentioned, that frying is enough.
In addition, I've also been told that if one decided to precook them he should soak them in cold water for a few minutes afterward 🤔
Most of the info I use is taken from the site www.mushrooms.org.il - it's in Hebrew but google translate should help you in that matter, put aside the Hebrew names of the mushrooms which can be translated wrong.
