Mousseron

These mushrooms grow in ‘fairy rings’ on grassland. Their season is late April to July. Their caps measure 10mm to 45mm in diameter and have short thin stems. They only need a light dusting as washing can spoil the flavour. They go extremely well with meat and fish dishes as well as mixed mushroom dishes. Mousseron are wonderful eaten fresh, but can also dry very well and be stored in spiced Cinzano, extra virgin olive oil or wine or cider vinegar after blanching. They have a shelf life of 7-10 days if kept at 5-6 Degrees
