Since the beginning of time wild mushrooms have been highly prized.
In ancient times it was believed that mushrooms were created by thunderbolts.
This is no myth - wild mushrooms do appear after storms and they are a wonderful and healthy addition to any meal!
These wild mushrooms are found in many countries around the world. They are highly prized by Chefs and gourmet cooks. They are used extensively for American, French, Spanish and Italian cooking.
We like wild mushrooms in soups, sauces, meat entree's or simply sauteed with olive oil, garlic and white wine.
These mushrooms all have different distinct tastes, textures and charecteristics.
Morels - A wonderful taste and texture, perfect with meats and in sauces.
Porcini - A great deep flavor with a taste of nuts, excellent for any Italian dish. A favorite among Chefs!
Truffles - Highly prized by Chefs for their unique flavor and worldwide acclaim as the most expensive mushroom. They have a garlicy bouquet and a texture and flavor unlike any other mushroom. These mushrooms only grow on hillsides, usually under a tree, found with the assistance of a hog! More Truffle Information is below!
Shitake - A light and delicate mushroom with a wide cap and a smooth and mild flavor.
Chantrelles - are light tender and delicate with a sweet and nutty flavor. Beautiful in color and shape makes them highly desired in gourmet foods.
