In spring it often means *perretxikos*, the prized early mushroom, and at other times other local wild varieties. It is the most weather-dependent pintxo in the lineup, and the whole bite is built to showcase the mushroom's aroma rather than mask it, which means restraint is the governing principle. The build is short on purpose. The mushrooms are cleaned dry, brushed rather than washed so they do not waterlog, then cooked fast in a hot pan with olive oil or a little butter, salt, and often nothing more than garlic and parsley, until their water cooks off and the edges catch color and they concentrate. Crowding the pan steams them into a grey slack pile, so they go in hot and in a single layer. They are spooned over a slice of *barra* that has frequently been brushed with the mushroom pan oil so the bread carries the same earthiness. The classic finish is a soft or fried egg yolk over the top, set so it breaks and binds the mushrooms to the bread. Sloppy versions are watery and bland from over-washed, over-crowded mushrooms, or drowned in cream that flattens the wild flavor. A good one is fragrant and deeply savory, the mushrooms still distinct, the bread soaked just enough to hold. Variations follow the season and the kitchen. A runny egg on top is near-canonical and the most common addition; others fold in caramelized onion, a little jam贸n for salt, a splash of cream for a richer version, or a shaving of cured cheese. The species itself is the biggest variable, since a delicate *perretxiko* is treated more gently than a meatier *boletus*. The full plated wild mushroom *revuelto*, scrambled eggs folded through the same mushrooms, is a close relative but a larger dish that deserves its own article rather than being crowded in here. --- ## More from this family Other [Pintxo](https://onesandwich.com/tag/pintxo/) sandwiches in Spain: - [Pincho de Tortilla](https://onesandwich.com/pincho-de-tortilla/) - [Pintxo Caliente](https://onesandwich.com/pintxo-caliente/) - [Pintxo de Anchoas](https://onesandwich.com/pintxo-de-anchoas/) - [Pintxo de Bacalao](https://onesandwich.com/pintxo-de-bacalao/) - [Pintxo de Chistorra con Huevo de Codorniz](https://onesandwich.com/pintxo-de-chistorra-con-huevo-de-codorniz/) - [Pintxo de Foie](https://onesandwich.com/pintxo-de-foie/) - [Pintxo de Gambas](https://onesandwich.com/pintxo-de-gambas/) - [Pintxo de Gilda](https://onesandwich.com/pintxo-de-gilda/) [See all Pintxo sandwiches 鈫抅(https://onesandwich.com/tag/pintxo/)
