Fall, this is the begining of the mushroom season in oregon! The gental and speradic rains spawn the slumbering spores amid the coastal ferns and redwoods. The elusive Morel, the spontaneous, yet prolific golden Chanterelle, and the dense woody hedgehog, as well as the rare matsutaki. All of these locally celebrated and sometimes cherished mushrooms are the over the top ingredient in world class recipes! These mushrooms are perfect delicacies, and have a place in exquisite fall cuisine! a simple pasta with sauteed garlic , mushrooms, butter and Parmesan cheese. just a little fresh tomatoes and parsley and you have a superb pasta! Try topping beef, venison, or elk with a saute of shallot , garlic, mushrooms, thyme, a splash of good red wine, reduce, and Finnish with a little butter! J. Bentley
