So what is so magical about the edible wild mushroom?
Apart from coming and going instep with the moon, they smell and taste of the earth itself, of caverns measureless to man.
Mushrooms are virtually calorie free, rich in vegetable proteins, vitamin C, B1, B2 and niacin, low in salt and fat, rich in potassium and contain no cholesterol. Dried wild mushrooms have approximately 60% more flavour than fresh and only a few grams are needed to permeate a whole dish. They are an irresistible source of flavour, texture and aroma. They have been valued for centuries as an alternative to meat and vegetarians are discovering their first rate goodness and bouquet.
Although personal taste may vary, many consider the finest variety of wild mushrooms to be Cepes (Porcini), Chanterelle, morel and fairy ring mushrooms.
