At one time, the only mushroom a consumer could buy at the supermarket was the white button mushroom. Today, there are a wide variety of mushrooms available in supermarkets and specialty stores. By clicking on one of the tabs above, you will find delicious recipes for these "wild" mushrooms.

The majority of these recipes are provided by Jack Czarnecki, a chief promoter of mushrooms, and are taken from his Portobello Cookbook. Other good mushroom cookbooks are Mushroom Lover's Cookbook, Medicinal Mushrooms, and The Shiitake Way.
