Burlington Free Press
Nick LaDuke, catering chef at the Inn at Shelburne Farms, prepares to gather edible oyster mushrooms growing on a downed tree, during a mushroom-teaching session in a woodland near the Inn.

  The rainy weather we had recently has brought a bounty of mushrooms to the forests of Vermont. And foragers are headed out into the woods to harvest them.

Candace Page, who writes for the Savorvore Section of the Burlington Free Press, spoke with several veteran foragers about how to identify both delicious and deadly mushrooms. She also offers some easy ideas for enjoying them.

Learn more in her article, Wild World Of Mushrooms Tamed In The Kitchen.

The VPR Café is made possible by Otter Creek Kitchenware, in Downtown Middlebury, offering over 70 lines of kitchenware.
