Anything can go into this salad, meaning any and all of the mushrooms you managed to collect when out picking. If you haven’t enough, then you can always add some cultivated ones. The difference between this and a normal salad is that the ‘vinaigrette’ is cooked and the mushrooms are slightly pickled by boiling with salt and vinegar. (Some, like the honey fungus, have to be cooked before eating anyway.) The salad can also be served cold.
