The Mushroom Hunter (Rebroadcast)
"There are old mushroom hunters and bold mushroom hunters, but there are no old, bold mushroom hunters." That sentiment is well-known in the community of mushroom hunters because collecting the wide variety of fungi used in so many dishes can reap financial benefits, but it can also be a deadly experience. Today Chef Peter Reinhart brings along a local mushroom hunter and a chef who works for a mushroom growing company. They will teach us the basics about these enigmatic objects that are closely related to mold. Join us for a field guide to mushroom hunting and cooking.
Guests
Peter Reinhart - Chef-on-Assignment, Johnson and Wales University
Reed Patterson - Mushroom Hunter
Bob Engel - Chef Liaison, Gourmet Mushrooms Inc.
