Edible Mushroom Field GuideMushroom Newsletter (18 January 2012)

Hare
Brown hares used to be thought of as natives, but they were probably brought here two millennia ago . . .

Mushroom Parcels
These crunchy, fluffy, packages are a cross between a samosa and a pastie. They combine butter-brushed filo pastry, cream cheese and delicate fungi.to make a delicious starter, picnic filler or veggie maincourse . . .
