Wild mushroom and chicken pie

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...
