11/01/2011

 With November upon us and fall in full swing the grape and wild mushroom harvests of Mendocino County are in.  The Mendocino County Wine and Mushroom Festival will take place Nov. 4 thru Nov. 13  There will be dozens of events, with chefs and celebrity judges (Sunset and Oprah Magazine) taking part at dinners, wine pairings and musical evenings. 
We had our own fine dinner with friends which featured this very chunky, edible Boletus mushroom picked right here on our coastline.

                                        the Boletus mushroom(Porcini group)


                         Autumn leaves and familiar button mushrooms
                                      from the upcoming book
The Illustrated House in the Country


and the delicious ravioli/mushroom pasta!

Tis the season of the tasty, sometimes very dangerous,
never boring mushroom in all it's
infinite variety
take care picking the WILD mushroom, Josephine
