Preparation

1. First, shred the mushrooms into small strips. Add them to a mixing bowl with lime juice, salt, and pepper. Cover and let them marinate for ~30 minutes.
2. In the meantime, stem the serranos and add them to a blender along with cilantro, garlic, onion, lime juice, vinegar, and salt. Mix on high until smooth.
