Yes, they do freeze well.

If you use vegetable broth, funges made up as a soup is vegan.

>From The Forme of Cury: "Take funges and pare hem clene, and dyce hem;
take leke and shrede hym small, and do hym to seeþ in gode broth. Colour
it with safroun, and do þerinne powdour fort."

Q. for the low-carb folks, would funges be low-carb?
