Stem
Fairy Ring Mushroom stem (stipe) is the stalk under the cap—meaty on some species, fibrous on others. It carries the same savoury character as the cap when tender. Trim dirty bases, slice stems with the caps for sautés, or save firmer stems for duxelles and stock. Brown hard in a wide pan; crowded stems steam and grey Even lengths cook more evenly in the pan or steamer.
