Culinary and Recipes
This recipe comes to us from the kitchen of Vernetta McGuire.
The beauty of this recipe is that it can be made a day in advance. The filling can be used on baguettes, or if you double the puff pastry you really don't need anything else to serve it with...

"Shrooms 101" at Quail Hollow
Although this is not an FFSC event, and it is not free, we enourage everyone to register and to attend a unique all-day mushroom event at Quail Hollow. There is an introductory lecture on local mushrooms, guided collecting forays into the woods and a hands-on ID workshop. Read on, this is one amazing opportunity to learn, assist in documenting flora, eat Chef Bob Wynn's cooking and to have a great time all in one day.
Fomes fomentarius, the “Tinder Fungus” (by )
Mushroom of the Month: October, 2014
Recently four small specimens of Fomes fomentarius were gifted to me by a friend returning from the FFSC Alaska foray. I was delighted, but not for the usual reasons.
Most of us enjoy the process of walking through moist forests in search of fungi for the table. For some of us, it is the hope of finding a rare or unusual species that draws us to the woods. But in a time before matches and Bic lighters, a hike in the woods yielded fungi that held the promise of a fire.

This beautiful mushroom was found in Terry's backyard. Phil Carpenter pegs it as being in the Coprinopsis lagopus group. One of the Inky Caps, this exquisite and evanescent member of the Psathyrellaceae family is a feast for the eyes. Not for the table, though: this tiny mushroom is considered inedible.
Free Journal of Mycology Collection (by Chris Hobbs)
Know anyone who might like a long run of the Journal of Mycology? It starts at the beginning and goes through the late 70s or early 80s, or perhaps later. It was purchased in England in the early 1990s and there isn't room for it.
