Wild Mushrooms!

Gregory Schaefer

You know what I think?  I think mushrooms are the bomb.  They're incredibly mysterious, delicious, and if you're into wild ones, they are dangerous too!  So exciting. 

On the show I stick to more of your "run of the mill" shrooms. I did that 'coz I figured anyone, anywhere can find white buttons, crimini, portobellos and shitakes. They're all good, but when you expand your horizons and stretch your wallet a little you are in for a good time! Matsutake, porcini, hedgehog, chanterelles, morels, black trumpets...the list goes on and on and on.

The tastes go on and on too; you'd be amazed at the variety of textures and flavors that come out of the more exotic culinary mushrooms. I've had some that were like maple-syrup candy and others that were like lobster...and some, simply indescribable. Too much fun!
