In the late fall here we get coccora and porcini mushrooms. I try to stock up when there are good mushrooms so that I can eat them all year. This year so far I’ve collected oyster mushrooms, coccoras, queen boletes (aka porcini), and what I think are butter boletes. Oh and one lion’s mane. I dry the porcini’s for later and freeze the coccora and oysters after a quick sauté in olive oil or butter. I prefer to cook the coccoras in chicken broth if I have it. Next the orange chantrelles will come up, then the black trumpets both of which have a very long season and are very durable mushrooms not much liked by bugs. Hopefull it will be a good year for both. The coccora and porcini peak very fast and then they are gone.
