If you’ve cooked even a few of the recipes I’ve shared in the last year and a half you should have a good pile of mushroom stems saved up in your freezer.

Recipe: Pasta and Baby Shiitake
We’ve had quite a crop of baby Shiitake this summer. These are mature Shiitake that are just very small. Light levels, mushroom log fruiting frequency, or weather conditions cause this to happen.

Recipe: Mushrooms and Veggies over Grilled Polenta

This is the time of year when the mushrooms really start going crazy. The temperatures and humidity are just right and the mushrooms are extra happy.
