OREGON MUSHROOM SEASON IS IN FULL FORCE!
WILD MUSHROOMS FOR PHOTOS, SEE BELOW
CHANTERELLES:
Prices are dropping. Quality is excellent. Should be around at least until mid December and often until mid March (from California January to March).
Safe to put on your menus.
~Premium: 1 - 2 inch "buttons" (younger mushrooms with a cap shaped more like a shiitake as opposed to more developed ones that are vase or funnel shaped).
~Mixed: All sizes. Not as picture perfect as the Premium, but all nice and usable.
~White Chanterelles: In the chanterelle family, but a different species. More meaty and a bit peppery taste. White inside only, since they turn yellow/golden real fast after picked.
~HEDGEHOGS (French name: Pied De Mouton):
Should be available from Europe until early to mid December, when usually the domestic season starts and lasts until mid to end of March.
Safe to put on you menus.
~LOBSTER:
Good supply from Oregon. Should be available until early to mid October.
Safe to put on your menus.
We only buy the small/medium firm and drier ones that have no bugs in them.
Safran or green apples bring out the flavor in these, according to one of our customers.
~MATSUTAKE:
Should be around until early December. Prices may go up in October, depending on the demand from Japan.
This week we have the small #1 shaped (tight drop shaped unopened caps). In a week or two we should get the more open, cheaper ones.
NOT IN STOCK, BUT POTENTIALLY AVAILABLE:
CAULIFLOWER (Oregon) Starting soon and available in limited quantities until early December.
BLACK TRUMPETS (Europe) Should come soon. Hopefully available until December, when the domestic season should start.
YELLOWFOOT CHANTERELLES (Europe): Same as Black Trumpets.
PORCINI: European season potentially now until end of November.
The domestic season is usually early/mid October until early November.
WILD HUCKLEBERRIES:
~Mountain variety. Sweeter. Look more like a blueberry. Near end of the season.
~Coastal variety. Season just started. Should be available until early November.
Safe to put on the menu.
SEABEANS. WILD: Near the end of the season.
