So last night I ate my first foraged dinner, where the identification of the mushrooms was entirely in my hands — a delicious pie of chicken, wild foraged mushrooms, leek, carrots, shallots and celery. Here's the meal in progress:
At the start, the raw ingredients
Note the tub of shaggy inkcaps and field blewit |
On the go
You can just about make out the lilac stems of the field blewit |
And the finished product. I didn't have to use my backup oyster mushrooms, bought from Morrisons...!
Fungi Pie! |
And despite a mild unfounded panic last night that I might have eaten something deadly, it all well and me and my dinner guests are all alive and kicking and keen for the next foraged feast...
