Hi Karen, I'm definitely an amateur mycologist... a fun and rewarding hobby (check the Internet for your local mycological association and try attending a few forays in the spring-summer-fall). Cultivation of mushrooms isn't something most folks (myself included) have time for, and is limited to just a few species... most of the nice edibles are collected in the field, and taste better than their cultivated (when available) counterparts. Fungi identification isn't that difficult at all but it's important to get started under the guidance of an expert. Before then, I've found that looking at photos in guidebooks and trying to ID field mushrooms can be confusing and frustrating (and potentially hazardous if used as the sole source of gathering culinary mushrooms)... ;)

I was about to write to ask where you live to get all the varieties of mushrooms you use, but I now see you're a mycologist and grow them yourself! Makes me feel like a slouch for thinking I'd use market morels for a try at the omlette.

Very cool gallery. Lots of variety and creative use of mushrooms.

Northeastern U.S., and mushrooms were collected in the woods... but you already knew that! ;) ;)

excellent again, let's us know where you from and where you collected them (hi)?

Fanstastic Gallery! I enjoyed viewing all the varieties. Thanks for labling and all your artistic work!

Great to see all the different varitys "on the plate" so to speak. Looks more interesting than foraging.
