Draper said two edible maitake or hen of the woods mushrooms were found in the woods near Earthlands that, combined, weighed about 12 pounds. That wild-haired mushroom, hen of the woods, is roasted with grapeseed oil, infused with lemon verbena and star anise, and comes with an avocado sauce. They can partake of such items as a pickled shimeji mushroom salad with an enoki mushroom and porcini vinaigrette, a wild mushroom soup with black truffle-foie gras emulsion, a chanterelle mushroom mac 'n' cheese recipe with boschetto al tartufo, a pan-roasted hen of the woods mushrooms offering with creme fraiche atop grilled soudough toast with truffle oil, and a smoked lobster mushroom and duck confit spring roll with a mushroom-soy ponzu. |
