Find out moreMushrooms fascinate us! We hunt for scientific interest and for the table, encouraging a sense of wonder regarding one of the least-understood segments of our environment. Monthly meetings, guided local and long-distance forays and identification classes.
LearnMushrooms: we find them all over. They are ubiquitous and mysterious, common and rare, delicious and sometimes deadly. Mushrooms are among the oldest living things on earth, and a significant theme and resource in almost every human culture over the past 10,000 years. Want to know more? You are already a fungiphile.

This recipe comes from Chef Vachy at vahrevah.com. He shows a video, but ingredients do not come with any measurement, so this is my interpretation of what he shows on You-tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUm2cWKeNbs
This recipe originally comes from Chef Nemo Bolin at Cook and Brown Public House in Povidence Rhode Island. His is made with a no knead home made gnocchi, but this recipe is a time saver version with store bought gnocchi.

Please join us for our General Meeting at the Harvey West Scout House. A surprise for this month: we'll start with an informal potluck on the picnic tables outside the Scout House at 6. Feel free to bring a dish to share. If your dish contains mushrooms, thanks for keeping to the Suggested Species List. Doors open at 7, with refreshments and informal mushroom ID from 7:00 - 7:30. A discussion of upcoming events will precede our speaker, Dr. Dennis Desjardin, Professor of Biology, San Francisco State University.
Thanks for sharing this photo, Linda. We also loved your Newt-Free Candy Cap cookies at the January General Meeting!
