Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound king oyster mushrooms stems only, caps reserved for another use
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise kosher
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 cup celery finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 4 brioche or challah rolls split and lightly toasted
  • 2 tablespoons butter for toasting rolls

Method
 

  1. Cut the king oyster mushroom stems into 3-inch pieces. Set up a steamer basket in a large pot with about 1 inch of water. Bring water to a boil.
  2. Steam the mushroom pieces for 10-12 minutes until they're tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from steamer and let cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Using a fork, shred the warm mushroom pieces by pulling along the grain. The mushrooms should separate into thin, stringy pieces that resemble crab meat.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mushrooms, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, and paprika. Mix gently to coat.
  5. Fold in the diced celery and chopped chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Lightly butter the cut sides of the rolls and toast them in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until golden.
  7. Divide the mushroom mixture evenly among the four rolls. Serve immediately while the rolls are still warm.

Notes

The mushroom filling can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving. If king oyster mushrooms aren't available, you can substitute with torn hearts of palm, though the texture will be slightly different.
