Only use the caps which are not turning to (p)ink.

Do not discard the stalk, just clean the base. Slice the whole mushroom(s) in half longitudinally.

Fry in an excess of butter. Remove from heat and put aside.

Make a roux from the remaining butter and work it into a sauce with a decent white wine.

Make toast or fried bread, lay the mushrooms on it, cover with sauce and give it a short blast in the microwave.

I did that but stopped before making a sauce. Not
convinced there would be much flavour of the Cc,
but might try it.
