I once thought of trying to make cream of mushroom soup with
shiitakes, and the thought boggled me. I have used the dried
stems (crushed) to add depth to a dish made of domestic
mushrooms, though.

One of the great dishes of all time. The Jews do it, the
Germans do it, the French do it. Here's one for roasted,
but I imagine you did pan-browned, right?
