Unfortunately, right now, the farmer's market is only open once a month. So that means that our supply of delicious, farm fresh shitake, portabella, and oyster mushrooms runs out quickly without chance of getting more any time soon. With this in mind, we walked through the aisles of Whole Foods with our mouths watering and a hankering for some fungi. Whole Foods has the mushrooms that we are used to, those listed above, but they also had maitake and a few others. I have heard that Maitake is good eating, so Christy and I picked up a little box of them sauteed them tonight with onions. I found them delicious, although I find most things cooked with butter delicious, the texture was different than the other mushrooms we have cooked. It was a little chewier and they took a little bit longer to cook. Tomorrow we are going to try to them on a homemade pizza.
