Maitake, also called Hen of the Woods, is growing all over our local forests right now.
Foraging takes time, energy, and someone who can show you where to go and what’s safe to eat. If you don’t have that person, Trish of Midnite Mushrooms is at the Media farmers market every week. She cultivates some of her mushrooms, forages others, and explains what she found. This week, she has Maitake.
Get some. Wipe it gently with a damp cloth. Sauté it dry first, then add oil and whatever you like. Even just eggs make it special. Let us know how you ate it!
📍 Media Farmers Market, tomorrow, Sunday, Oct. 25
N. Edgmont Street, between Media Elementary and Barrall Field
🕙 10 AM–1 PM
