Helpful Tips and Notes
Can I use other mushrooms?
Yes! While King Oyster (aka King Trumpet) mushrooms are ideal for matching bacon’s texture and cooking time, you can use Portobello, Shiitake, or Cremini for similar results.
What if I’m feeding vegetarians or vegans?
Skip the bacon and duck fat. King Oyster Mushrooms hold their own on the grill and make a satisfying plant-based skewer. Make a few all-mushroom skewers so everyone can enjoy.
Is this recipe gluten-free?
The Samurai Sauce contains gluten. Swap it with Lane’s BBQ Sorta White or Motley Que Ivory Heaven for a gluten-free option that’s equally delicious.
Can you eat the whole mushroom?
Yes! King Oyster Mushrooms are fully edible—from the cap to the thick stem—and they deliver a meaty bite perfect for grilling.
