It's cauliflower mushroom time! The cauliflower mushroom, aka Sparassis spathulata, is a delicious wild mushroom that is starting to show up right now. It can be used as an egg noodle substitute, sauteeed, used in soup or can even be made into a mushroom steak! Pro tip: these mushrooms hold alot of water so it's a good idea to start with a dry pan and cook until the mushroom releases some water. I'll have these beauties at on Saturday.
Have you had cauliflower mushrooms before? What is your favorite way to prepare them?

A little look around the shiitake yard. Each week I soak shiitake logs to trigger fruiting. Monday mornings find me putting logs in the tanks to soak and starting to pick from the logs that I soaked last week. It's al lot of work, but with the wind blowing through trees, the dappled sunlight, and the birds singing, I can't imagine a better place to start my work week! And I can't wait to get them to market so you all can enjoy these beautiful shiitake!

We didn't get many PA fiddleheads this year due to weather extremes, but we now have some perfect Maine fiddleheads from our friends at . If you don't know, fiddleheads are a wild spring vegetable that I look forward to every year. The flavor is somewhere between asparagus and green beans, and they are great with mushrooms. We'll have them at in Gratz and the market this Friday. If you can't make either of those and want some of these beauties, let me know, we'll try to work something out
