I don't buy regular ol button mushrooms or portabellos EVER. I always use shitake or oyster mushrooms as they are just as readily available as the old standbys, and I prefer the flavor and texture.
If you have a particularly tastey variety of mushroom, saute them alone and just serve by them selves. I've had matsutake that were dry sauteed and then had some butter added in at the last minute that were absolutely delicious. I've found that tempura style sliced, battered, and deepfried is an EXCELLENT way to eat any mushroom, but especially wild ones like boletes and chanterelles YUM!!!!
