my neighbor phil has been growing field mushrooms somewhere in the commune, neither the less he has an abundance,and now so do me and jacob.I had some spare time at school today so i did a research on recipes that use heaps of mushrooms and a creamy soup was all to tempting. With a few modifications i ended up with a delightful meal and also a guest taster!
