This is one of those recipes that could inflate your girth to frightening proportions if eaten regularly.  But it is so good that on special occasions it finds a place in my kitchen.  It can be served as a spread on a baguette or crackers.  Or it can be used as a mushroom duxelles to enliven a variety of dishes.

Mushroom of the Month: September, 2014

As many of you know the mushroom world has been going through a lot of changes in recent years with the onset of genetic sequencing. One of the main impacts of this has been the renaming or reclassification of not only singular mushrooms, but in some instances whole genera (heck, Suillus got its own family!). It sometimes seems that just about every mushroom we see in our local woods now has a new name or spot in the myco tree of life. And one of our most prized groups of local mushrooms, the boletes, is no exception. With the recent publishing of scientific papers some of their names have changed as well. So let’s dive in at the first official wave of name changes to impact our beloved Boletus.
