No matter what city I’m in or what farmers market I visit there’s one stall I can’t resist. It’s a fact; self-control disappears the moment I see the vendor offering a striking assortment of mushrooms rarely if ever seen in a regular supermarket.

You’ve seen them: whimsically shaped aesthetically painted in muted colors truly enchanting in their beauty. Whether foraged or locally grown the variety of mushrooms available at the farmers’ market these days is nothing short of astonishing. And while a fantastic display of lion’s mane blue and pink oyster noki and chanterelles is undoubtedly tempting… this stand can also be incredibly intimidating. After all the enchanting mushrooms are often among the more expensive items at the farmers’ market—not to mention more expensive than any mushroom you’ve ever seen in the grocery store—and if you have no idea what you’d cook with them (or if you’d even like them!) you may (understandably) decide to move on.
