Shaggy mane mushrooms are a forager’s best friend, no matter the stage of your journey. Weather reports from the Northeast to the West Coast predict a lush mushroom foraging season in the coming weeks if they’re not already sprouting near you. These friendly fungi are easy to identify, grow in more bustling areas like garden beds and roadsides, and have a really neat party trick of turning inky black as they age. Once foraged ethically, these mushrooms are easy to cook. Here are three recipes on repeat during shaggy season.
