One of the things the fall rain brought to Otorohanga is mushrooms! Two of the very nice ladies I've met in Otorohanga, Barbara and Catherine, went on a mushroom hunt on Catherine's family farm and shared these beauties with me.
I sauteed the mushrooms (they were so juicy I had to simmer these for quite a while to reduce the liquid) wilted in some spinach (a match made in heaven), and served it all on crusty baguette. I took a picture of the finished plate, but since I didn't remove the gills the mushrooms were inky black after being cooked. Not a great picture, but excellent eating!
