Les Saveurs du Terroir - Dehydrated mushrooms

Porcini from Italy

 

The flavor and aroma of these opulent mushrooms will permeate your kitchen. A whole pound of what many Consider the finest-tasting and most versatile of mushrooms. Porcinis (boletus edulis) are also referred to as cepes. They are easily recognized for their rounded, plump caps (which some call hamburger buns), brown and bulbous, and very pretty. Porcini are intensely aromatic, with a fine yet rich taste that is infused into dishes. It especially pairs well with soups, sauces, polentas and pastas. Soak anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes in warm water before using (drain and save the liquid for other aromatic dishes). First choice, carefully chosen for flesh quality, lack of visual imperfections, and aroma.

Boletus from Canada

 

It derives its common name from the bay or chestnut coloured cap, which is almost spherical in young specimens before broadening and flattening out to 18 cm. The pores are cream to pale yellow, but stain blue when bruised or cut. The flesh is white and stains pale blue, the stem is up to 12.5 cm and similar in colour to the cap but paler. It appears less affected by maggots than other boletes.

Chantarelles

 

The word Chanterelle comes from the Greek kantharos which means cup or goblet cibarius which means ‘food’ in Latin so Cantharellus cibarius can mean Cup of Food

 

Chanterelles mainly fruit when their associated trees are at least 10 years old although fruiting bodies have been produced in the lab under seedings 16 months old. There are thoughts that in dry years they are found more often in areas with abundant well rotted dead wood because this retains the moisture better.

Morel

 

The black morel can be anywhere from half an inch high to over a foot high. When it first comes up, especially if it is lodged under leaves, away from the light, it is anything but black; "gray," or even "white" might be a better description. But usually black morels are a very dark brown, nearly black, with darker ridges and lighter pits, and a whitish stem. Sometimes they're pointy, but other times they can be rounded. They are hollow. They come up, generally speaking, before the other true morels, often beginning to appear in my area (central Illinois) as early as the last week of March. Distinguishing between the different kinds of black morels is an exercise in futility, unless you are being paid to do it and you have a microscope
