Shitake Mushrooms

Here’s something DH does in his spare time:

growing shitake mushrooms
(mushroom kit from Fungi Perfecti)

Evolution of Mushroom

His best crop so far prompted perusal of the cookbooks in anticipation of the harvest feast:
Beef Wellington with Shitake
Stuffed Shitake
Beef with Shitake
Chicken Rolls with Shitake
Asian Rice Salad with Crabmeat & Shitake
Monkfish with Shitake Mushrooms and Fresh Ginger

from The Complete Mushroom Cookbook by Antonio Carluccio
and
Mushrooms Favorite Recipes by Andrea Kösslinger & Sibylle Reiter

Ah, Saturday morning, coffee and cookbooks…

ETA:
See them grow “28 hours later”:
