Fresh wild forest oyster mushrooms [View all]

I scored a dozen wild oyster mushrooms.

Never had them before. What is the single best way to prepare them to fully appreciate them? My default would be just butter saute. Tempted to add garlic but want to really appreciate their flavor. They smell awesome.

The other option is to put them on a pizza, but will that really do them justice?
