It was a mix of rotting bark with an undercurrent of rebirth as trees begin to grow new leaves, while dead ones still litter the terrain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were other signs, too. The ground was moist, squishing as she walked, unusual for this late in the season. Trekking 7-miles deep into the forest to reach the spot their scout claimed was ripe for hunting, she felt a tingle of anticipation. Moore's group grew quiet as they approached a low, flat place with a trickling stream, a ring of huge sycamores, and a few dying elms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Stop,\" called someone, breaking the silence. She looked down. Morels. Hundreds of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was amazing. There was no rhyme or reason to it,\" says Moore, describing what mushroom hunters refer to as a \"mother lode.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Usually, morels are found right near decaying trees. But here they were just everywhere, every few feet. You had to watch where you walked. It was unbelievable.\" The hunters went to work harvesting the wrinkly capped morels and stashing them in mesh bags to keep them fresh. After hiking back to their truck, they poured the bags out and admired their haul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The truck bed was completely covered. I'd never had that happen before or since,\" she says. That day, they found 300 morels. In a good season, Moore may hike 100 miles over the three-to-four-week season and find around 350 morels total.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore, 53, is a park ranger in \u003ca href=\"http://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/clear-creek/\">Clear Creek Metro Park\u003c/a> in southeast Ohio. She began foraging 20 years ago, looking to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/02/05/581917882/mushrooms-are-good-for-you-but-are-they-medicine\">live healthier\u003c/a> and get more in tune with the land. She gushes over morels' deep, woodsy flavor and tries to hunt enough during the season to last the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what's so great about morels? Diehard foodies and amateur cooks alike struggle to describe the essence of what makes the mushroom so enticing it can command prices nearing $35 a pound or more. The beguiling morel, whose cap looks like a large, pruny thumb, packs a flavor that makes truffles seem like a cheap knock-off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of its draw also lies in its limited availability. \"You can't plant them, you can't grow them,\" explains Erin Shaw, a park naturalist for the \u003ca href=\"http://ohiodnr.gov\">Ohio Department of Natural Resources\u003c/a>. \"That's one reason they're so valuable. They grow where you find them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Shaw predicts this year will be \u003ca href=\"http://www.wtol.com/story/37870655/should-be-a-good-year-for-morel-mushrooms-in-ohio\">a good one\u003c/a> for harvesting morels, their general scarcity has given rise to a culture of secrecy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore agrees. \"There's always that anxiety that someone else will have found my spots and taken the morels,\" says Moore, who often hunts alone or with her dog, Clunker. \"That's the worst feeling in the world when you're headed out in one direction and someone's coming back with a big bag of morels.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has a few tricks she's learned over the years. She's been known to hide behind trees to let others pass her by so they don't see where she's going. She'll also remove aluminum cans she encounters along the way: For the casual hiker, it's litter, for a mushroom hunter, that's a sign someone may have tried to mark a spot they've found morels before so they can return to it later.

It was a mix of rotting bark with an undercurrent of rebirth as trees begin to grow new leaves, while dead ones still litter the terrain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were other signs, too. The ground was moist, squishing as she walked, unusual for this late in the season. Trekking 7-miles deep into the forest to reach the spot their scout claimed was ripe for hunting, she felt a tingle of anticipation. Moore's group grew quiet as they approached a low, flat place with a trickling stream, a ring of huge sycamores, and a few dying elms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Stop,\" called someone, breaking the silence. She looked down. Morels. Hundreds of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was amazing. There was no rhyme or reason to it,\" says Moore, describing what mushroom hunters refer to as a \"mother lode.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Usually, morels are found right near decaying trees. But here they were just everywhere, every few feet. You had to watch where you walked. It was unbelievable.\" The hunters went to work harvesting the wrinkly capped morels and stashing them in mesh bags to keep them fresh. After hiking back to their truck, they poured the bags out and admired their haul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The truck bed was completely covered. I'd never had that happen before or since,\" she says. That day, they found 300 morels. In a good season, Moore may hike 100 miles over the three-to-four-week season and find around 350 morels total.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore, 53, is a park ranger in \u003ca href=\"http://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/clear-creek/\">Clear Creek Metro Park\u003c/a> in southeast Ohio. She began foraging 20 years ago, looking to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/02/05/581917882/mushrooms-are-good-for-you-but-are-they-medicine\">live healthier\u003c/a> and get more in tune with the land. She gushes over morels' deep, woodsy flavor and tries to hunt enough during the season to last the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what's so great about morels? Diehard foodies and amateur cooks alike struggle to describe the essence of what makes the mushroom so enticing it can command prices nearing $35 a pound or more. The beguiling morel, whose cap looks like a large, pruny thumb, packs a flavor that makes truffles seem like a cheap knock-off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of its draw also lies in its limited availability. \"You can't plant them, you can't grow them,\" explains Erin Shaw, a park naturalist for the \u003ca href=\"http://ohiodnr.gov\">Ohio Department of Natural Resources\u003c/a>. \"That's one reason they're so valuable. They grow where you find them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Shaw predicts this year will be \u003ca href=\"http://www.wtol.com/story/37870655/should-be-a-good-year-for-morel-mushrooms-in-ohio\">a good one\u003c/a> for harvesting morels, their general scarcity has given rise to a culture of secrecy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore agrees. \"There's always that anxiety that someone else will have found my spots and taken the morels,\" says Moore, who often hunts alone or with her dog, Clunker. \"That's the worst feeling in the world when you're headed out in one direction and someone's coming back with a big bag of morels.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has a few tricks she's learned over the years. She's been known to hide behind trees to let others pass her by so they don't see where she's going. She'll also remove aluminum cans she encounters along the way: For the casual hiker, it's litter, for a mushroom hunter, that's a sign someone may have tried to mark a spot they've found morels before so they can return to it later. Moore is wary of posting pictures online of where she hunts, even going so far as turning off GPS-location functions on her smart phone. \"There's been times when people have used pictures posted online to track down someone's hunting spot,\" says Moore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The popularity of morel hunting entices thousands of mushroom seekers to descend into Ohio's forests each spring.

pickiest eaters!\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I was a kid, my mom would always serve stuffed mushrooms whenever she and my dad threw a party (that and peach daiquiris!). Usually they were stuffed with a simple mixture of sausage and cream cheese, and not really anything else. But they were so delicious. The trick was to time it just right so you could eat them—whole, in one massive bite—while they were still hot (they were very hard to resist) but not so hot that they burned your mouth. I pretty much burned my mouth every single time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t know that we ever wrote that recipe down, but I’ve re-created it over the years. This is a slightly fancypants version of that 1970s classic cocktail party recipe, and sure to be a real crowd-pleaser. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve added spinach to this updated version, and kept it vegetarian, but you can omit the spinach and mix in 8oz or so of bulk pork sausage (I think we always used sweet Italian sausage or something similar) before stuffing. Make extra sure if you use the sausage to cook the stuffing all the way through!

Usually they were stuffed with a simple mixture of sausage and cream cheese, and not really anything else. But they were so delicious. The trick was to time it just right so you could eat them—whole, in one massive bite—while they were still hot (they were very hard to resist) but not so hot that they burned your mouth. I pretty much burned my mouth every single time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don’t know that we ever wrote that recipe down, but I’ve re-created it over the years. This is a slightly fancypants version of that 1970s classic cocktail party recipe, and sure to be a real crowd-pleaser. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve added spinach to this updated version, and kept it vegetarian, but you can omit the spinach and mix in 8oz or so of bulk pork sausage (I think we always used sweet Italian sausage or something similar) before stuffing. Make extra sure if you use the sausage to cook the stuffing all the way through!

For decades, most of the mushrooms we ate came from giant farms using lab-based cultivation practices that required expensive equipment and demanding degrees of precision. In recent years, however, small farmers and home growers have had access to more accessible and efficient practices—and they’re helping to spread those practices by \u003ca href=\"https://mycotopia.net/forum/180-fungi-all-edible-medicinal-and-other-fungi/\">sharing them online\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what most people don’t know is that mushrooms are more than a popular food. They can also be grown in ways that improve the overall health and efficiency of plant and animal systems. Here are six ways in which mushrooms are more than just a superfood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Creating Food from Waste\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most farms produce tons of agricultural waste that is often burned or composted. But as nature’s great recyclers, fungi are able to break down nearly any carbon-based material, from woody trees to \u003ca href=\"https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s13568-014-0029-8\">industrial pollutants\u003c/a>. Multiple commercial mushroom species \u003ca href=\"https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=GdVHViGBqogC&oi=fnd&pg=PA3&dq=mushroom+200+agricultural+wastes&ots=N4Ba6KILjz&sig=pg24G7R9HJCGvJm_z0MfTga6s3Y#v=onepage&q=mushroom%20200%20agricultural%20wastes&f=false\">have been shown to grow\u003c/a> on over 200 agricultural residues, including corncobs, bamboo shoots, potato leaves, soybean hulls, and peanut shells. Rather than placing all the value on the seed or fruit of a given crop, farmers could start to see that the other 80 to 90 percent of the plant as food for another crop entirely: edible and medicinal mushrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Filling the Downtime\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though mushrooms can be grown year-round, it’s especially ideal to grow them during the winter months when other local foods are only minimally available in most of the U.S. Not only is this a time when farmers are looking for a bump in revenue, it’s also perfect for growing mushrooms, as the cooler temperatures and higher humidity levels are ideal growing conditions. Their growing cycles take 1 to 3 months, depending on the species, allowing farmers to time their mushroom crops around their harvest season. Mushrooms can be also be grown indoors with minimum infrastructural investment during the summer months between planting and harvesting vegetable crops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Provide Missing Nutrients\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cultivated varieties such as Shiitake and oyster mushrooms provide \u003ca href=\"http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10408398809527480\">many nutrients\u003c/a> that \u003ca href=\"http://www.jfoodprotection.org/doi/abs/10.4315/0362-028X-53.10.883?code=fopr-site\">other \u003c/a>vegetables are low in or lack entirely. Most mushrooms species are high in various B vitamins, while others contain an abundance of vitamin C. All mushrooms have \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergosterol#As_a_vitamin_D2_precursor\">ergosterol\u003c/a>—a compound called a vitamin D precursor—in their cell walls. When fresh or dried mushrooms are placed in direct sunlight, this compound naturally converts to vitamin D, often to significant levels within just a few hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mushrooms are also an excellent source of macronutrients like calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus, as well as the microelements copper, iron, selenium, manganese, and zinc. Unlike many health supplements, the minerals in mushrooms are often found in an ionic form that is easy for the body to assimilate. Mushrooms are also one of the few organic sources of germanium and selenium, elements that have been \u003ca href=\"http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0140673600024909\">shown to\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://cebp.aacrjournals.org/content/19/9/2407\">increase resistance\u003c/a> to diseases and combat harmful free radicals. When fresh, mushrooms contain around 3.5 to 4 percent protein and around 19 to 35 percent when dried. Many mushrooms contain all of the essential amino acids, with some species being among the highest natural sources of lysine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond their nutritional value, mushrooms are also highly regarded for their medicinal value. Cultivated mushrooms such as \u003ca href=\"http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/(SICI)1097-0215(19970317)70:6%3C699::AID-IJC12%3E3.0.CO;2-5/full\">Reishi\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://europepmc.org/abstract/med/1718146\">Turkey Tail\u003c/a> have also been found to stimulate and support immune function.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Improving Animal Feed\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once mushrooms have been harvested, the protein- and vitamin-rich fermented agricultural waste they grew on can be fed to ruminants and other farm animals. Many \u003ca href=\"http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0044848611003759\">studies\u003c/a> have shown that \u003ca href=\"https://academic.oup.com/ps/article/89/2/303/1548160/Performance-and-antioxidant-status-of-broiler\">chickens\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1046/j.1365-2095.2002.00215.x/full\">fish\u003c/a>, lambs, cattle, and other farm animals all benefit from eating mushrooms and their mycelium. Researchers found that these animals showed significant improvements in overall health, digestion, and disease resistance. When medicinal \u003cem>Cordyceps\u003c/em> mushrooms are fed to chickens, some of the medicinal compounds in the mushroom can also pass \u003ca href=\"https://wildsingaporenews.blogspot.com/2008/02/singapore-designer-eggs-with-cordyceps.html#.WVF5sBPyvq1\">into the animal’s eggs\u003c/a>, suggesting the future production of many novel medicinal mushroom-egg-based products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Building Soil\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another use for cultivation leftovers is as a soil amendment. Some nurseries sell commercial \u003ca href=\"http://www.mushroomcompost.org/\">mushroom compost\u003c/a>, which is nothing more than the residues of the Portobello mushroom industry.

For decades, most of the mushrooms we ate came from giant farms using lab-based cultivation practices that required expensive equipment and demanding degrees of precision. In recent years, however, small farmers and home growers have had access to more accessible and efficient practices—and they’re helping to spread those practices by \u003ca href=\"https://mycotopia.net/forum/180-fungi-all-edible-medicinal-and-other-fungi/\">sharing them online\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what most people don’t know is that mushrooms are more than a popular food. They can also be grown in ways that improve the overall health and efficiency of plant and animal systems. Here are six ways in which mushrooms are more than just a superfood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Creating Food from Waste\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most farms produce tons of agricultural waste that is often burned or composted. But as nature’s great recyclers, fungi are able to break down nearly any carbon-based material, from woody trees to \u003ca href=\"https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s13568-014-0029-8\">industrial pollutants\u003c/a>. Multiple commercial mushroom species \u003ca href=\"https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=GdVHViGBqogC&oi=fnd&pg=PA3&dq=mushroom+200+agricultural+wastes&ots=N4Ba6KILjz&sig=pg24G7R9HJCGvJm_z0MfTga6s3Y#v=onepage&q=mushroom%20200%20agricultural%20wastes&f=false\">have been shown to grow\u003c/a> on over 200 agricultural residues, including corncobs, bamboo shoots, potato leaves, soybean hulls, and peanut shells. Rather than placing all the value on the seed or fruit of a given crop, farmers could start to see that the other 80 to 90 percent of the plant as food for another crop entirely: edible and medicinal mushrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Filling the Downtime\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though mushrooms can be grown year-round, it’s especially ideal to grow them during the winter months when other local foods are only minimally available in most of the U.S. Not only is this a time when farmers are looking for a bump in revenue, it’s also perfect for growing mushrooms, as the cooler temperatures and higher humidity levels are ideal growing conditions. Their growing cycles take 1 to 3 months, depending on the species, allowing farmers to time their mushroom crops around their harvest season. Mushrooms can be also be grown indoors with minimum infrastructural investment during the summer months between planting and harvesting vegetable crops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Provide Missing Nutrients\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cultivated varieties such as Shiitake and oyster mushrooms provide \u003ca href=\"http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10408398809527480\">many nutrients\u003c/a> that \u003ca href=\"http://www.jfoodprotection.org/doi/abs/10.4315/0362-028X-53.10.883?code=fopr-site\">other \u003c/a>vegetables are low in or lack entirely. Most mushrooms species are high in various B vitamins, while others contain an abundance of vitamin C. All mushrooms have \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergosterol#As_a_vitamin_D2_precursor\">ergosterol\u003c/a>—a compound called a vitamin D precursor—in their cell walls. When fresh or dried mushrooms are placed in direct sunlight, this compound naturally converts to vitamin D, often to significant levels within just a few hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mushrooms are also an excellent source of macronutrients like calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus, as well as the microelements copper, iron, selenium, manganese, and zinc. Unlike many health supplements, the minerals in mushrooms are often found in an ionic form that is easy for the body to assimilate. Mushrooms are also one of the few organic sources of germanium and selenium, elements that have been \u003ca href=\"http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0140673600024909\">shown to\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://cebp.aacrjournals.org/content/19/9/2407\">increase resistance\u003c/a> to diseases and combat harmful free radicals. When fresh, mushrooms contain around 3.5 to 4 percent protein and around 19 to 35 percent when dried. Many mushrooms contain all of the essential amino acids, with some species being among the highest natural sources of lysine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond their nutritional value, mushrooms are also highly regarded for their medicinal value. Cultivated mushrooms such as \u003ca href=\"http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/(SICI)1097-0215(19970317)70:6%3C699::AID-IJC12%3E3.0.CO;2-5/full\">Reishi\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://europepmc.org/abstract/med/1718146\">Turkey Tail\u003c/a> have also been found to stimulate and support immune function.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Improving Animal Feed\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once mushrooms have been harvested, the protein- and vitamin-rich fermented agricultural waste they grew on can be fed to ruminants and other farm animals. Many \u003ca href=\"http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0044848611003759\">studies\u003c/a> have shown that \u003ca href=\"https://academic.oup.com/ps/article/89/2/303/1548160/Performance-and-antioxidant-status-of-broiler\">chickens\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1046/j.1365-2095.2002.00215.x/full\">fish\u003c/a>, lambs, cattle, and other farm animals all benefit from eating mushrooms and their mycelium. Researchers found that these animals showed significant improvements in overall health, digestion, and disease resistance. When medicinal \u003cem>Cordyceps\u003c/em> mushrooms are fed to chickens, some of the medicinal compounds in the mushroom can also pass \u003ca href=\"https://wildsingaporenews.blogspot.com/2008/02/singapore-designer-eggs-with-cordyceps.html#.WVF5sBPyvq1\">into the animal’s eggs\u003c/a>, suggesting the future production of many novel medicinal mushroom-egg-based products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Building Soil\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another use for cultivation leftovers is as a soil amendment. Some nurseries sell commercial \u003ca href=\"http://www.mushroomcompost.org/\">mushroom compost\u003c/a>, which is nothing more than the residues of the Portobello mushroom industry. The homemade version offers the same benefits, such as increased water holding capacity and nutrient availability. Most mushroom growers don’t use this “waste.” So even if you don’t grow mushrooms, you might be able to get some of these leftovers (known in the trade as “spent spawn”) for free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. Supporting Crops and Cutting Fertilizer\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lastly, mycorrhizal fungi can \u003ca href=\"http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167880905004457\">significantly improve\u003c/a> the nutritional quality and overall health of crops.

I was half asleep when I plucked the first bottle I saw that said “cold brew” from the seemingly never-ending wall of drinks in the refrigerated section. It is only later that I realized I picked up \u003ca href=\"http://rebbl.co/\">REBBL’s\u003c/a>, Reishi Mushroom cold brew coffee. The drink had the familiar deep taste of coffee with earthy notes and some creamy sweetness, but the most intriguing element was that I was drinking fungi! I love trying different food concoctions, but what’s with the mushrooms? Is this a thing? My thirst was quenched, but my curiosity was peaked. I looked on REBBL’s website and found that they describe the reishi mushrooms as an “adaptogen” that “decreases the flood of stress hormones into the body.” Hmm, that sounds too good to be true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I reached out to Rivkah Khanin, a Bay Area mushroom enthusiast who forages her own mushrooms and cooks up many culinary creations with fungi.

They have a dense protein-like substance in their cell walls called \u003cem>chitin\u003c/em> that is also found in arthropods and mollusks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fungi don't have cellulose in their cell walls like plants do and have a different way of getting energy. Mushrooms have evolved to have symbiotic relationships with plants since fungi are not capable of photosynthesis. Fungi act as a decomposer and break down decaying matter, transforming nutrients for plants to take up through their roots. Meanwhile, plants utilize photosynthesis and make carbohydrates that nourish the fungi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mushroom\" and \"fungi\" can be used interchangeably, but to be clear, a fungus is the whole organism and a mushroom is just the fruiting body of the organism. Just like the apple of a tree.

They are being touted as these new “super foods” and are increasingly found in supplements, beverages and smoothies. A lot is left unaddressed around the preparation and sustainability of using some of these fungi. For example \u003ca href=\"http://michaelvertolli.blogspot.com/2013/09/chaga-and-wild-harvesting-dilemma.html\">Chaga\u003c/a>, is a parasitic mushroom that only grows on birch trees and it is over-harvested and killing acres of forest in places like Russia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am really happy that mushrooms are getting more into popular consciousness and are being used medicinally.

We are really lucky to live in an area where these mushrooms are easy to get either in the wild or locally at grocery stores. One of my favorite dishes to make is a miso mushroom soup (\u003cem>see recipe below\u003c/em>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For woodier mushrooms like reishi and turkey tail, you can’t really just cook and eat them because they are super tough. (It’s like trying to munch on a tree.) I like making these mushrooms in a decoction (\u003cem>see recipe below\u003c/em>), which is when dried mushrooms are simmered in water for 20-45 minutes and then the liquid is used in soups, stews and beverages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you have a powerful high-speed blender, you can even blend the previously cooked mushrooms and dehydrate the mixture, making a powder to be used in other recipes, like baked goods.

I was half asleep when I plucked the first bottle I saw that said “cold brew” from the seemingly never-ending wall of drinks in the refrigerated section. It is only later that I realized I picked up \u003ca href=\"http://rebbl.co/\">REBBL’s\u003c/a>, Reishi Mushroom cold brew coffee. The drink had the familiar deep taste of coffee with earthy notes and some creamy sweetness, but the most intriguing element was that I was drinking fungi! I love trying different food concoctions, but what’s with the mushrooms? Is this a thing? My thirst was quenched, but my curiosity was peaked. I looked on REBBL’s website and found that they describe the reishi mushrooms as an “adaptogen” that “decreases the flood of stress hormones into the body.” Hmm, that sounds too good to be true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I reached out to Rivkah Khanin, a Bay Area mushroom enthusiast who forages her own mushrooms and cooks up many culinary creations with fungi. I was interested in learning more about the royal kingdom of fungi and how I could incorporate them in more than just my coffee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How did you get into mushrooms?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My whole family is from Russia and I have very vivid memories of going mushroom hunting as a kid. Five years ago I tapped back into that passion when I started working at a farmers’ market mushroom stand in Baltimore, that’s when my obsession with fungi really flourished.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Actually, mushrooms are a big reason why I moved to the Bay Area.

So humans have used mushrooms for quite a long time as food, medicine, tinder and even paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yeasts are single-celled fungi, so thanks to fungi we have fermentation! Humans have been fermenting food for thousands of years, and we wouldn't have bread, wine, beer, cheese, etc. without fungi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comparatively, mycology as a field is fairly new and it wasn’t until a few hundred years ago that people differentiated mushrooms from plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How are mushrooms different from plants?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a cellular level, mushrooms are more similar to animals than they are to plants. They have a dense protein-like substance in their cell walls called \u003cem>chitin\u003c/em> that is also found in arthropods and mollusks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fungi don't have cellulose in their cell walls like plants do and have a different way of getting energy. Mushrooms have evolved to have symbiotic relationships with plants since fungi are not capable of photosynthesis. Fungi act as a decomposer and break down decaying matter, transforming nutrients for plants to take up through their roots. Meanwhile, plants utilize photosynthesis and make carbohydrates that nourish the fungi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Mushroom\" and \"fungi\" can be used interchangeably, but to be clear, a fungus is the whole organism and a mushroom is just the fruiting body of the organism. Just like the apple of a tree. Most of the organism is underground as mycelium, a web-like hyphal network of nutrient and information exchange.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mushrooms definitely have their own kingdom for a reason.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_117820\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2765px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/mushroom2_edited-1.jpg\" alt=\"Illustrated mushrooms\" width=\"2765\" height=\"1743\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117820\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/mushroom2_edited-1.jpg 2765w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/mushroom2_edited-1-160x101.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/mushroom2_edited-1-800x504.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/mushroom2_edited-1-768x484.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/mushroom2_edited-1-1020x643.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/mushroom2_edited-1-1180x744.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/mushroom2_edited-1-960x605.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/mushroom2_edited-1-240x151.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/mushroom2_edited-1-375x236.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/05/mushroom2_edited-1-520x328.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2765px) 100vw, 2765px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Illustrated mushrooms \u003ccite>(Lila Volkas)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some of the most popular mushrooms?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’d say Reishi (\u003cem>Ganoderma lucidum\u003c/em>), Turkey Tail (\u003cem>Trametes versicolor\u003c/em>), Shiitake (\u003cem>Lentinula edodes\u003c/em>), Oyster (\u003cem>Pleurotus ostreatus\u003c/em>), Chaga (Inonotus obliquus), Lion’s Mayne (\u003cem>Hericium erinaceus\u003c/em>) and there are so many more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marketing for mushrooms is a big determining factor as to how the public sees them. They are being touted as these new “super foods” and are increasingly found in supplements, beverages and smoothies. A lot is left unaddressed around the preparation and sustainability of using some of these fungi. For example \u003ca href=\"http://michaelvertolli.blogspot.com/2013/09/chaga-and-wild-harvesting-dilemma.html\">Chaga\u003c/a>, is a parasitic mushroom that only grows on birch trees and it is over-harvested and killing acres of forest in places like Russia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am really happy that mushrooms are getting more into popular consciousness and are being used medicinally. I just want to make sure people are informed consumers and that they also keep in mind sustainability in their choice of mushrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some health benefits of mushrooms?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some mushrooms have adaptogenic qualities that help the body maintain balance and adapt to stress. They can also nourish the adrenal glands, stimulate the immune system and have been studied to support treatment for certain types of cancers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reishi, is probably the most researched medicinal mushroom and is very popular in traditional Chinese medicine for its therapeutic effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I make my own \u003ca href=\"https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/mushroom-double-extraction\">double extractions\u003c/a> of reishi and take it medicinally when I feel like I’m starting to get sick. I think that in addition to the ones that are considered “medicinal,” even mushrooms that are considered “gourmet” have a ton of beneficial properties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Renowned fungi experts, \u003ca href=\"http://www.christopherhobbs.com/library/featured-articles/mushroom-articles/\">Christopher Hobbs\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.ted.com/speakers/paul_stamets\">Paul Stamets\u003c/a> have great resources for using different mushrooms for healing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some of the best ways to prepare mushrooms?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s super important to cook mushrooms! They need heat to break down the \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chitin\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>chitin\u003c/em>\u003c/a> so we can access the \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-glucan\" target=\"_blank\">beta-glucans\u003c/a>, which are the immune boosting properties in mushrooms for humans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A common misconception that has been over-generalized from the plant world to the mushroom world is that eating mushrooms raw is better for you. That’s not the case because they are actually really difficult to digest raw, and in some cases toxic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between you and me I’d like to see less raw slices of button mushrooms in salad bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another way to consume mushrooms is through making a double extraction, which uses alcohol and water to draw out the beneficial elements of the mushrooms. (you can find out how to make it at \u003ca href=\"https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/mushroom-double-extraction\">mountainroseherbs.com\u003c/a>)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How do you like to prepare mushrooms as food?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I like simply sautéing mushrooms in butter, such as chanterelle, maitake, oyster mushrooms and shitake. We are really lucky to live in an area where these mushrooms are easy to get either in the wild or locally at grocery stores. One of my favorite dishes to make is a miso mushroom soup (\u003cem>see recipe below\u003c/em>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For woodier mushrooms like reishi and turkey tail, you can’t really just cook and eat them because they are super tough. (It’s like trying to munch on a tree.) I like making these mushrooms in a decoction (\u003cem>see recipe below\u003c/em>), which is when dried mushrooms are simmered in water for 20-45 minutes and then the liquid is used in soups, stews and beverages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you have a powerful high-speed blender, you can even blend the previously cooked mushrooms and dehydrate the mixture, making a powder to be used in other recipes, like baked goods. This way, you are getting the beneficial beta-glucans from the mushrooms that have become more bioavailable by cooking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where can you buy quality mushrooms?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.farwestfungi.com/\">Far West Fungi\u003c/a> in the Ferry Building has a great selection of fresh and dried mushrooms.

One variety that Far West grows is indigenous to San Francisco’s Presidio and was used in 2007 to help \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Hair-and-mushrooms-create-a-recipe-for-cleaning-3301177.php\">clean up an oil spill\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wood Ear:\u003c/strong> One of the newer offerings at Far West, these rubbery brown mushrooms are aptly named for their auricular appearance.

A grassland species, the common white or brown button mushroom is versatile and mild in flavor. Portobello is the mature version. Large, dense, and flavorful, it makes a hearty meat-free burger or steak. \u003cem>Not pictured.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Find Far West Fungi at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market in the back plaza on Saturdays.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/115058/mushroom-business-booms-at-far-west-fungi","authors":["byline_bayareabites_115058"],"categories":["bayareabites_109","bayareabites_1874","bayareabites_95","bayareabites_1875"],"tags":["bayareabites_338","bayareabites_233","bayareabites_538"],"featImg":"bayareabites_115065","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_108599":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_108599","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"108599","score":null,"sort":[1460817895000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"will-genetically-edited-food-be-regulated-the-case-of-the-mushroom","title":"Will Genetically 'Edited' Food Be Regulated?
