Though it can be next to impossible to get a wild mushroom forager to share his secret patch, it's never hard to find a recipe that puts the flavorful funghi to good use. Here are a few of our favorites:
Soufflé Crêpes with Wild Mushrooms and Crescenza Cheese
Golden crêpes are filled with earthy sautéed mushrooms and a savory pastry cream made with soft-ripened Crescenza cheese.
Wild Mushroom Grits with Low Country Oyster Stew
Use freshly shucked oysters in this classic Southern stew, which is served over creamy wild mushroom grits.
Wild Mushroom and Roasted Garlic Bread Pudding
A cross between a pudding and a stuffing, this decadent dish is studded with roasted garlic and fragrant with fresh herbs.
You won't miss the meat in this incredibly rich, Hungarian-inspired stew. Serve on a fluffy mound of soft polenta.
Drunken Risotto with Wild Mushrooms
The earthy, savory notes of an Oregon or Burgundy Pinot Noir marry well with the assorted wild mushrooms in this risotto.
