First Mushrooms of the Season

[Dan F]

If you want a mushroom hunting buddy let me know. I've never done it but have wanted to, and I don't even like mushrooms. I just like harvesting wild edibles. I'm not going after mushroom until I go with someone who knows their stuff. Though I do own and have read the book "The Savory Wild Mushroom" by Margaret McKenny.

If I know ahead of time that I'm going I'll let you know. It is a great excuse to go wander around in the woods for a while!

I LOVE Chanterelles! I was actually thinking of some Mushroom recipes for work. Got a few cases from the other department. Oysters, Chanterelles, Porcinis, Kings...I wanted to do more than just Sauteed Mushrooms or a Ragout. You find Truffles too?!

I, too, have never met a mushroom I didn't like.

we sauteed some with garlic and spinach last night. Tonight they will get seared in olive oil to go alongside a steak. The rest are getting cooked down, pureed, and made into stuffing for mushroom wontons.

The truffles are OK, but I don't think I really know how to use them properly...
