thank you RAIN thank you MA EARTH and thank you MYCELLIAL NETWORK (of which we still understand SO LITTLE) for the glorious bounty of mushrooms poppin' up to say "hey!" in parks, yards, national forests and state parks ALL over NC right now. WOWOW! 🍄
this week's menu delights in mushroom magic, mostly grown locally and and purchased, with the chance for some foraged delicacies, if your chef is lucky. Any selections that could contain such special bounty are noted in their captions, and shoutout to Mushroom Mountain for an intensive, two full day course on these babies a couple years back - if you're looking to get mushroom forager "certified", they do fabulous work! since it is HIGH SUMMERTIME here in the Piedmont and the selections at Market are SO varied, I'll also be featuring tomatoes, peppers, and other tasty farmstand treats, ofc, ofc!
