Fruit Of Darkness - The Mushroom

Kitchen Witching

For hundreds of years, mushrooms were the food of the poor, much like the lobster and the oyster. This was in the main because they were readily available to forage, if you knew what you were doing. Unlike the now high priced seafood, the mushroom has maintained its place on the dinner table of all.
