Mushrooms

Growing up, it seemed to us that anything that wasn’t a cultivated button mushroom had to be a hands-off toadstool. Who would have thought that there existed all those wonderful wild mushroom varieties? Once left to brave mushroom foragers with a better understanding than ours, shiitakes, morels, porcinis, and so many other rich-tasting wild mushrooms have been showing up in more markets each year—some now tamed, others still wild. The bounty is glorious; don’t be shy in trying them all.
