Steve Manfredi: Field mushrooms

Autumn brings a profusion of mushroom species into our markets. While the wild foraged pine mushrooms - the slippery jack and saffron milk cap - bring the humus and resin-scented woods to our tables, there is an increase in the cultivated species.
The ordinary cultivated mushroom (Agaricus bisporus), most often seen as small buttons and larger open caps, seems to react to the season by growing to full maturity. At this time of year, field and cultivated mushrooms are larger, meatier and tastier.
